Projects

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.
