In The Project Method William H. Kilpatrick proposed a teaching method which emphasize the role of self-education based on the common realization of a task initiated by the teacher. The idea of the "project method" can also be useful in historical education. Here we publish some educational projects in which pupils try to interpret the experience of 20th century totalitarian regimes. They use in their activities many tools and solutions that challenge the standard model of school education.

On the 16th of November 2010 the project called EHRI, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure, was launched in Brussels. This project is financed by the European Union and will take four years to complete. EHRI's main objective is to support the European Holocaust research community by opening up a portal that will give online access to dispersed sources relating to the Holocaust all over Europe and Israel, and by encouraging collaborative research through the development of tools. To achieve this by 2014 twenty organizations - research institutions, libraries, archives, museums and memorial sites - from thirteen countries will work together in a consortium.
