This Education Kit focuses on the growing social and economic inequalities throughout Europe that have raised and continue to raise unrest and discontent within societies at large. Looking into historical events and developments related to social and economic inequality, and doing research on inequalities in their own locale, students are challenged to critically reflect on what social and economic inequality means to them, can mean to different people, and what its roots and consequences are. In this Education Kit, students will be answering the following research question: How can social and economic inequality disrupt society?

The kit contains suggestions for activities to choose based on the needs of your students as well as an assessment grid.

All videos are available on the In Europe Schools YouTube channel.

In Europe Schools is a joint initiative of EuroClio and the Dutch national broadcaster VPRO. Learn more about the project here and find previous toolkits here.
