Over the course of the pandemic, we have faced fist-hand the challenges that distance learning brings. One of these challenges is the need to create a safe online learning environment. In this interactive webinar hosted by Nena Močnik, we will discover online tools which teachers can use to facilitate a safe online learning environment. We will also discuss practical solutions for how to tackle so-called "difficult subjects" in an online environment.

The webinar will be hosted on 14 December at 17:00-18:30 CET.  Curious to know Nena's tips and tools for a safe online environment? Register here, and see you there!

It turned out to be a highly educational visit, with reflections on the current state of history textbook publishing in Russia and the digitisation process taking place in the publishing sector.  Read more on our webpage -> 

'Maus' is a graphic novel that uses a comic strip style to tell the chronicle of a family during the Holocaust. It is a personal memoir that explores different methods to deal with the experienced horrors of the Holocaust. Our reviewer explores how Spiegelman combines storytelling, visual arts and the concept of post-memory to connect the past and the present - all while providing a few tips and resources for use in the classroom.

Tune in to our latest podcast episodes! In connection with our recent thematic focus on the fragility of democracy, on fake news and propaganda, re-visit our very first episode on media literacy with Prof. Sam Wineburg or episode 11 with Prof. Felisa Tibbitts on teaching democracy.

In our most recent episode Contested Histories: Colston and Bristol, we speak with Bristol-based history teacher and textbook author Richard Kennett about the controversy surrounding the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston that was toppled and thrown into the Bristol harbour last year. How was the issue dealt with in the classroom at the time? And how is Bristol currently dealing with its past links to the slave trade?
