The 2022 issue of JHEC is focused on the topic ‘Why History Education’ addressing the sense of history education in contemporary world where it has to assert itself in the field of tension of power, economy and society, and to engage in the dialogue with the growing field of public history. Perspectives from Austria, Germany, Israel, Poland, South Africa. Ukraine and Zimbabwe are included. The highlight of the Varia section is the article on ‘Plannungsmatrix’ where Alois Ecker presents his innovative tool for designing teaching modules that skillfully combine first and second order historical concepts in the course of dialogical interaction between educator and students.
