Call to Action: Help us pilot eight brand new eLearning Activities!
Within the Online Teaching in the Visegrad Region project, we have designed 8 eLearning Activities that can be used to delve into several aspects of everyday life in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary during the Cold War. These activities last 20-25 minutes, and help students understand the setting of the Cold War and put themselves in the shoes of youth in the 1950s – 1970s.
We are trying them out in the Region, but we are very interested to know if they can be used also further across Europe. For this reason, we are looking for teachers who wish to test one of our activities in their classroom, and to let us know what we should change to improve our work and make it more meaningful, engaging, and easy to use. Would you like to check out the activities and get involved in our piloting efforts? Email us at secretariat@euroclio.eu. We will be happy to get you started!

The second guide, Working with Sources in History Education, considers the different approaches to history education and its use of sources in the classroom, along with concrete examples of how to use visual sources, stamps and songs. The documents have been produced for use in Sri Lankan educational system, but are transferable to most other contexts and curricula.
