Democracy and the Heritage of the Soviet System
International Education Forum
Budapest, 30th November - 1st December 2001
The Association initiated an international conference on the Soviet dictatorship with the intention to help introducing teaching programmes on the Soviet System as well as organising the Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Communism. The aim of the conference was to discuss how can teachers confront their students with the history and the functioning of dictatorships and throw lights upon the importance of respecting human rights, being conscious citizens and guarding the institutions of democracy. The conference took place in December 2001 in Budapest, and more than forty teachers participated at the program.
