"Hi-story lessons. Teaching and learning the history of Europe in the 20th century"
"Hi-story lessons. Teaching & learning about 20th-century European history" is a multilingual web-based educational project designed for high school and college teachers and students. The project is organised by European Network Remembrance and Solidarity in cooperation with the Georg Eckert Institute.
The aim of the Hi-story lessons is to support the process of teaching and developing a better understanding the 20th-century European history using infographics, animations and interactive timelines displaying a list of events from the 20th century. The choice of impactful dates was made by a number of educational history experts from six countries – Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Czech Republic. All proceedings were held in the spirit of mutual respect of the variety of different opinions and national narratives. The idea of the Hi-story lessons’ project was raised based on the general principles of Peace Education, proclaimed by Maria Montessori. The responsibility and respect for the others as well as so called Global Citizenship prevent the future conflicts. Hi-story lessons’ project is concerned with helping learners to develop an awareness of the processes and skills that are necessary for achieving understanding, tolerance, and good-will in the world today. The project started in 2015 with developing six interactive timelines about each of the participating countries. The project is constantly being expanded with new project phases dedicated to the development of new material.
