What HistoriCall is

HistoriCall is a free web-based teaching resource that links European history with challenges facing students and their communities today. It is designed for secondary-school educators working with learners aged 13 to 18 in subjects including history, civic education, geography, and languages. Modules cover EU pioneers, the EU timeline, media literacy through European history, and racism and colonial histories. Lessons combine text and audiovisual materials with quizzes, student content creation, and group or individual activities. Its method draws on multiperspectivity and the student-oriented Visible Thinking approach to encourage critical thinking and connect historical study to students’ lives. The resource is available in 24 languages, and its content is described as checked by curators and outside academic experts. Teachers distribute student login codes, with no stated limit on simultaneous learners per module. Moodle powers the course site. It works on computers, tablets, and smartphones in browsers including Edge, Chrome, and Safari, but requires an internet connection. Some materials, such as quiz results, can be downloaded for offline use. A teacher manual and email contact are provided.
