Upcoming Hi-Story Lessons webinars: 80 years after: WWII in the Age of Disinformation
Eighty years after the end of World War II, history remains a battleground—not just in classrooms, but online.


On 20 May 2025, from 17:00 to 18:30 CET, join our free webinar “WWII in the Age of Disinformation” to explore how digital manipulation, AI-generated propaganda, and conflicting memories affect how young people understand the past.
This event introduces the Histories at War educational package, developed to help teachers and cultural educators tackle WWII memory, media literacy, and disinformation in the classroom. Attendees will receive a complete set of ready-to-use teaching materials, including lesson plans, student debate scenarios, quizzes, and curated sources.

▪️Memory Games on Wikipedia – how the platform can both inform and mislead.
▪️From Division to Dialogue – comparing East and West German memories of May 8, 1945.
▪️From Flag to Myth – exploring Soviet WWII narratives through a Georgian lens.
▪️Grandparent. Grand Stories. – encouraging students to connect personal histories with broader events.

The webinar includes presentations, interactive discussion, and a Q&A session with historians and educators.
