Theme: With the widespread use of social media, online propaganda, populism, extremism, fake news and hate speech have become increasingly common around the world. The Laboratory invites teachers and educators to explore the influence of online propaganda and how historical literacy help us address the issue more effectively in and beyond classroom.
