Is World War II a closed chapter of history—or still a battlefield today, in an era of manipulation and disinformation? Join our webinar to discover a new set of educational resources related to disinformation and memory conflicts.

The Histories at War: WWII in the Age of Disinformation educational package aims to provide teachers and educators with tools to mark the 80. anniversary of the WW2 ending. Join us to listen, ask your questions and receive a complete set of teaching materials. The goal of the package is to deepen historical knowledge, raise awareness of WWII’s consequences, and understand memory conflicts and disinformation. It also promotes critical thinking, media analysis, and recognizing modern threats like deepfake and AI-driven propaganda.

This May marks 80 years since the end of World War II – not only a moment of reflection, but also a time when history is increasingly used in the service of contemporary political narratives. Students encounter references to war in the news, films, and social media – so they must be able to critically analyze sources and recognize manipulation.

During the webinar we will present the following topics:

• Lesson: “Memory Games on Wikipedia”
• Lesson: “From Division to Dialogue: Remembering May 8 in East and West Germany”
• Lesson: “From Flag to Myth: How WWII Was Remembered in Soviet Georgia”
• Lesson ‘Grandparent. Grand stories

For whom:

Webinar for teachers, educators, employees of memorial sites and cultural institutions.

After the webinar you will receive:

A complete set of teaching materials (introductory article for teachers, online quizzes, a scenario for a student debate, a set of photos and sources) that will allow you to prepare your lesson.

What will it look like?

Presentation, online conversation and Q&A session
