    Notes and References Note: The presence of an asterisk at the end of a note indicates that the relevant quotation was originally in English, but has had to be translated back into English from the author's French text. 1 Communism and Youth I. Ralph Talcott Fisher Jr, Pattern for Soviet Youth (New York: Columbia University Press, 1959), p. 12. 2. The International Union of Socialist Youth Organizations (IUSYO) had been founded in Stuttgart in August 1907. It had been taken over by Miinzenberg during the First World War, while its leaders were absent. Under his direc­ tion, the IUS YO, renamed The International Centre of the Organizations of Socialist Youth (CIOJS), was to undergo profound structural changes. 3. E. H. Carr, The Bolshevik Revolution, 1917 to 1923 (London: Macmillan, 1952), p. 448. 4. His departure completed the total sovietization of the KIM. According to Margarete Huber-Neumann, from that time onwards Miinzenberg became aware of the danger the sovereign claims of the Russian party created for the international working-class movement. Cf. La revolution mondiale. L'his­ toire du Komintern ( 1919-1943), racontee par l'un de ses principaux temoins (Tournai: Casterman 1971). 5. Miinzenberg had all the talents of a captain of industry. Within a very short time he built up, independently of the international socialist organization, a chain of publishing houses, magazines, daily papers, a film company - in short a giant conglomerate that those within the Party called the 'Konzern Miinzenberg'. Heading this enormous financial empire, he devoted himself selflessly to the promotion of communism. Through his network of organiza­ tions, which stretched from England to Japan, he controlled a large number of periodicals (in Japan alone he edited, directly or indirectly, 19 publications in the 1930s), staged theatrical productions and produced films.

    Cómo referenciar este artículo / How to reference this article Ferreira Jr., A. (2019). The British National Union of Teachers (NUT) against the background of the Cold War: An International Peace Conference between teachers in Western and Eastern Europe. Espacio, Tiempo y Educación, 6(1), pp. 161-180. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14516/ete.175 The British National Union of Teachers (NUT) against the background of the Cold War: An International Peace Conference between teachers in Western and Eastern Europe Amarilio Ferreira Jr. e-mail: [email protected] Universidade Federal de São Carlos. Brazil Abstract: The aim of this article is to explain the political and trade union stance of the British National Union of Teachers (NUT) – representing the teachers of England and Wales – against the arms race and nuclear warheads set up in the European Continent during the Cold War (1947-1991). After adopting resolutions in support of «Education for Peace» at its Annual Conferences (Jersey, 1983 and Blackpool, 1984), the NUT held an International Peace Conference (1984) involving Western and Eastern European countries in which teachers’ unions from the following countries participated: the United States, Finland, the Soviet Union, the German Democratic Republic and Bulgaria. The international event was held in Stoke Rochford Hall (England) during the British miners’ national strike against the socioeconomic reforms instituted under the governments of Margaret Thatcher (1979-1990). The article started from the methodological presupposition based on the principle of political connection on an international scale within the scope of the trade union movement of teachers. Indeed, despite differences in nationalities, the educational processes institutionalized by schooling have acquired a universal character.

  • National Union of Teachers (NUT)
    National Union of Teachers (NUT) ©Bishopsgate Institute Catalogued by Grace Biggins, Archivist November 2016. NUT National Union of Teachers c1870-1996 Name of Creator: National Union of Teachers (NUT) Extent: 50 boxes & 11 loose items Administrative/Biographical History: The National Union of Teachers (NUT) is a trade union for school teachers. It was founded in 1870 as the National Union of Elementary Teachers (NUET), and changed its name in 1888 to become the National Union of Teachers (NUT) which is how it is currently known. The NUT campaigned for improved teachers’ pay and conditions, and to improve state education. In 1915 NUT moved to its current address at Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, London, WC1. Throughout its history the NUT has been involved in various demonstrations and strikes concerning education and the teaching profession, particularly in the 1980s as a result of pay disputes. The NUT remained involved in campaigning and protests throughout the 1990s and 2000s for teachers’ salaries, the rights of minorities, and international work. The NUT remains a major body for the representation of school teachers in England and Wales, and continues to campaign for education and the teaching profession. In 1872 the NUT launched its weekly journal The Schoolmaster, which served as a platform for education debate. The journal's name was later changed ‘The Teacher’, which continues to be its current title. Custodial History: Deposited by Kevin Courtney (General Secretary of the NUT) 24 November, 2016.
