The
#OHTE Annual Conference 2025 - our best one yet? We think so!
Last week’s conference brought together brilliant minds, new ideas, and a shared passion for history teaching. Here’s what made it special:
✅ New formats: We experimented with an OHTE Debate - which received great feedback – and dedicated entire sessions to dialogue with young students.
#LearnersFirst
📘 New knowledge: We launched our latest report, “Economic Crises in History Teaching,” and presented a brand-new
#dataviz project based on its data.
🎙️ New voices: We heard from outstanding experts across multiple disciplines and enjoyed an inspiring
#OHTE Talk by Yascha Mounk.
💭 Key takeaways
• Disinformation, misinformation, and manipulation are growing threats to democracy, undermining public trust and distorting truth.
• History can be political. In times of AI, hybrid wars, and social networks, it becomes a democratic act - giving citizens the tools to think critically and defend democracy.
• Students want to rehumanise history. They ask to learn how events like economic crises impacted local communities, ordinary people, and social movements.
