History has so many untold stories.

No. The first pilot and filming took place with Museumpark Orientalis, but a museum partner is entirely optional. The curriculum can start from a local archive, a photograph, a document, a monument down the road, a historical situation or a documented object from your own classroom.

None of the three. The curriculum is tool-agnostic — use whatever your school already permits, free or paid. There is also a complete unplugged route that runs the entire project without any AI, which doubles as your backup when the tools are blocked or simply stop working mid-lesson.

For the investigation, source work and writing, no: pen, paper and the printed canvasses are enough. The reel, comic and simulation routes need a suitable device, while the low-tech CREATE route reaches the same historical learning objective without one. Where access is limited, you can also share devices in small groups or schedule digital production separately. Choose the route that fits your school setting.

No previous AI experience is required for the historical inquiry or the unplugged route. The teacher guidance models each activity, the digital CREATE pages contain their production recipes, and short student walkthroughs will be added as they are completed. Your expertise stays where it belongs: the history, sources and judgement.

The curriculum has six connected phases rather than a fixed lesson count. FIND is short with the material prepared; CHECK, COMPARE, DRAFT and REFLECT each fit roughly one lesson; optional UNDERSTAND adds depth; and CREATE varies from a compact paper route to a multi-session digital production. Fit the route and output to your timetable.

Students aged 13 to 17. Two difficulty levels are built into the materials so the same project can run in a younger and an older class without rewriting it.

The course is designed for secondary education and aligned with national standards in Belgium, Greece, and the Netherlands. It combines learning goals from history and technology, with relevant language learning goals included where they fit national curricula.

Students learn to identify and interpret sources, compare historical perspectives, distinguish evidence from inference, use context without mind-reading, keep uncertainty visible and create a defensible account. Where AI is used, they also learn to question its additions and remain responsible for the historical judgement.

Students choose one route: a reel, comic, game or simulation, or an unplugged/low-AI story such as a written or illustrated narrative, poster, live reading or recorded audio. The product matters less than the reasoning behind it: students keep the evidence trail, qualify inferences and name what remains unknown.

It is free. Everything is published under a CC BY-SA open licence, so you may translate it, remix it and adapt it to your curriculum, your objects and your language — as long as you share your version under the same terms.

The full curriculum launches on 15 October 2026, with a launch webinar the same day at 15:00–16:00 CET. From 9 November the teacher community meets monthly at 16:00–17:00 CET, closing with the final event on 18 March 2027. Sign up and everything comes to you.
