Project summary
The project “Czech-Nordic Memorabilia II – Democracy and Active Citizenship in University Teaching”
deepens the cooperation with the Faculty of Humanities at NTNU and newly establishes the
cooperation with the Faculty of Education at NTNU. The project innovates existing obligatory courses
on Scandinavian history and society and, as for the Norwegian side, incorporates new findings from
research on forced labour of Czechs in Norway into the study materials. The project offers an
opportunity for the early stage scholars of Scandinavian studies to enrol on new academic courses. A
new practical course with field experience will be created for the students of the last classes, which
aims to improve the employability of graduates of minor disciplines.
The project works with the themes of democratisation and active citizenship in the teaching of history
and develops bilateral cooperation in exploring common historical milestones. The project will
organise four round tables on active citizenship in university teaching and on Czech and Norwegian
war history. The popularisation outcome is an exhibition project on the Holocaust in Scandinavia.
