History Teachers' Association of Latvia

The History Teachers' Association of Latvia (HTAL) is a non-governmental, non- profit, voluntary organization of history teachers and historians. The Association was established in 1992 by 13 members; the number of members has grown to 277. In March 1995 HTAL became a member of EUROCLIO – European Association of History Educators.

Aims of HTAL include support to the development of history education; facilitation of the development and approbation of new methods of teaching and textbooks; contribution to history teachers' professional development and co-operation in international networks.

Members of HTAL meet twice a year: at the Summer Days in the end of July and the Annual Conference in the beginning of December. Participants of the Conference elect a board of three members.

Projects
HTAL has issued several sets of teaching material. Members of the Association share their experience on the website of the organization. Students with a special interest in history have a chance to take part in a competition “History around us” that is a part of Eustory initiative or in the annual “Olympics” of history which HTAL organizes in cooperation with the Ministry of Education of Latvia.

The Association has a wide range of partners including other NGOs, museums, universities, state institutions and international networks like EUROCLIO and Eustory.
