On January 29, 30, and 31, 2026, the XXV International Congress on Historical Education was held at the Institute of Education of the University of Minho, under the theme “Historical Education in Times of Unrest.”

The congress brought together 158 teachers and researchers and 64 students, future teachers, from Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Canada, Chile, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Greece, and Angola, providing a broad space for scientific reflection, research sharing, and intercultural dialogue. The scientific program included six plenary conferences, four round tables, and 110 scientific communications, involving 176 authors and co-authors, organized into various thematic areas, enabling the presentation and discussion of research studies and educational practices in Historical Education.

Marking its twenty-fifth anniversary, the International Congress on Historical Education has established itself as one of the leading events in the field. Its trajectory reflects a consistent commitment to the debate on the role of Historical Education in decision-making and informed action, based on empirical research developed in international contexts, with an impact on educational policies and contributions to educational practices aimed at building a global, interventionist, and humanistic citizenship.
