European Projects and National Developments. The case of Initial History Teacher Training in Romania

The paper presents the Romanian contribution to a series of three European projects aimed at the initial History teacher training, co-ordinated by the Vienna University. The paper presents the way in which a specific topic is developing over a decade in the framework of three consecutive projects, with an increase in project partners, the negotiating of findings and the search for a common ground, and the educational structures in Europe change. They give a long-term perspective over changes that occur at the level of initial teacher training, and its relation to broader changes in educational policies and systems of schooling.
