History Labs connect students across countries through the collaborative exploration of key historical topics, events, and figures. Each Lab invites students to analyse and share case study examples of the topic using a 360-degree approach – considering multiple perspectives, contested narratives, and an AI-generated overview of the topic.
The goal of the Lab is to deepen students’ understanding of the complexities of historical events within a peer-to-peer learning environment that emphasises global perspectives, evidence-based analysis, and critical awareness of potential bias in AI-generated content. This encourages students to engage with diverse viewpoints and develop a more nuanced understanding of key historical topics.
Small groups of between six and ten students from six school will start with an AI description of an event. Students will share and compare diverse viewpoints — opening the floor to nuanced conversations about how the past is taught, interpreted, and understood in different cultures.
Attendees should be 14+.
