Inspired by action and engagement learning and co-creation principles we have created a concept in which a multidisciplinary project team of students worldwide work jointly on telling important historic stories digitally.
The project itself serves as a learning environment as well. This way the students will not only learn about the historic events and the impact, but they learn by doing as well, based on experimenting and experiencing. The student project team is in charge of both the end product and the process.
The students are supported by a process facilitator, who promotes group and peer to peer learning. A sounding board of international professionals, with different backgrounds, skills and qualities serves as a sparring partner for the students and helps out in giving advice, feedback and inspiration throughout the project. Masterclasses are provided to the students, to learn more about the historical context.
Stories with impact and international value are (re)told in new digital ways. These ways are more suitable to agree with the next generation.
The students become ambassadors of sharing historical stories. Different perspectives on universal stories are shared and can be learned from.
The students gain more experience in collaborating internationally. They are free in creating their own project and are owner of the end product.
A heartfelt tribute to fallen heroes and ordinary people who made sacrifices for the greater good.
”Learning and sharing information is evolving faster now than at any other time in human history.
It’s been a delight to have been involved in this project. Online interactive learning is the future of education and this innovative project has seen a multinational group of young people map out how future generations will discover the past.”

“I feel privileged to have been working alongside the students, sounding board and process facilitators, so these important stories are preserved for future generations. I love their energy and involvement with the project. I strongly believe that co-creating in multidisciplinary teams lead to the best results. The student project group, who has worked on BK716’s digital magazine, has definitely proven this. I am taking my hat off to them.”
