In the period December 2020 to June 2021, together with Europeana, we have hosted a series of Webinars for advanced users of Historiana. During this series, each webinar focussed on a specific topic, using exemplar content from the Europeana Collections, and a critical thinking skill (you can find links to all webinars’ results at the bottom of this page). Given the positive feedback that we have received last year, we have decided to offer a new webinar series for the period December 201 to May 2022.

Our new upcoming webinar series will focus on four different topics, and help us discuss how we can help us students relate with history from two distinct angles: the “wide angle” that allow students to understand how big events shape history, and the “narrow focus” that allow students to reflect on the impact of history on local communities and everyday life.

Using exemplar content from the Europeana Collections, we will develop and present original eLearning Activities focussing on the following topics:

• “Coffee as a Global Commodity” – this session was hosted on 07 December 2021 by Helen Snelson. You can access a recording of the session here;
• “Bologna and the rise of Medieval Universities” – 15 February 2022 at 17:00 Amsterdam Time, hosted by Gijs van Gaans. You can access a recording of the session here;
• “Paintings of everyday life” – 22 March 2022 at 17:00 Amsterdam Time, hosted by Ute Ackermann Boeros – You can access a recording of the session here;
• “Railways and Connectivity” – 24 May at 17:00 Amsterdam Time, hosted by Bridget Martin – You can access a recording of the session here.

No problem, just watch the introduction to Historiana’s eActivity builder and you will be good to go!

You can also access the recordings of past Historiana webinars:
