Produced for the Council of Europe project " Learning and teaching about the history of Europe in the 20th century", this book concentrates on the how rather than the what of teaching. Besides a study of selected themes and topics, it covers the teaching of sensitive issues, the reading of visual archives, analysing history on television and the Internet and assessing new technologies. Some of these new sources have not been made part of standard teacher training, yet they have a powerful role in the way young people perceive the past. The author is a Senior Research Fellow at Leirsinn Research Centre, University of Highlands and Islands Millennium Institute.

In the European construction, the information and communication technologies provide young people and teachers with tools and resources that can transform the history class. These technologies enable young people to conduct a transverse, plural reading of history by giving them access, on an equal footing with historians, to original documentary sources, transcultural interpretations, conflicting data and multiple perspectives.

This publication is a teaching pack designed to meet the aims and objectives of the Council of Europe's project on 'Learning and teaching about the history of Europe in the 20th century'. The pack has been written for teachers of 14-18 year olds. It emphasises the integration of skills with knowledge and understanding, rather than the acquisition of knowledge in itself and focuses on the links between work, family, culture, war and politics. Topics proposed in the pack include how the image of women has been constructed socially through the media and how political systems have influenced women's private and social roles.
