Episode 33: Global perspectives in history teaching
Andreas Holtberget is joined by Dominic Studer to talk about global history and why we should teach it. Dominic has over the last few years been working on a project titled Globalgeschichtliche Perspektiven im Schweizer Geschichtsunterricht (Global perspectives in Swiss History Education) and he shares some of the findings and results of this project.

Episode 31: Global Migrations with Bob Stradling
We are joined by the head of the Historiana Content Team Dr. Robert Stradling to talk about his new project on migration history. The topic is highly present in contemporary political discourse and therefore, Bob argues, crucial to teach in order to make history feel relevant for today's students. Bob has a long track record with EuroClio and has also worked extensively in the past with the Council of Europe on history education and we also discuss with him how he sees the developments in history education in the last decades and where we are today.
The EuroClio Podcast 'Past Times - Talking and Teaching History' is a podcast series for and by history educators. The aim of the podcast is to discuss topics and ideas that are relevant for the teaching of history, to inspire each other and learn from some of the great minds that are part of our community.
