Paper:

Learning Outcomes of Inclusive Oral History Education at the Teacher Trainings Institute
The history curriculum at secondary schools, colleges and universities does not reflect the diverse and multicultural Dutch society. History education is often mainly about white men, macro events and far too little about diversity and personal stories. For example, the voices of minority groups, such as migrants and women are barely heard. In 2018 we have started an oral history project at the Teacher Training Institute that aims to make history education more diverse and democratic by using and constructing digital oral history sources.
Students history teacher made oral history documentaries about diverse and inclusive history. They interviewed and filmed eyewitnesses and compared these stories with the content of history text books and academic historiography. This paper elaborates on the aims, process and learning outcomes of making inclusive documentaries. Is it possible to make history education more diverse and democratic by using oral history? And what are challenges for educators?
