Telling the story of humanity also means telling the story of the migrations that have accompanied and continue to accompany human evolution: migrations of the first Sapiens from Africa to the rest of the planet, migrations from Europe to the Americas, migrations from East to West and vice versa.
Born from the experience of the Italian NGO CISP (International Committee for the Development of Peoples) and the European project Get up and goals!, the volume integrates 12 programs within traditional school programs that combine history and citizenship education and adopt a non-traditional view of the history of humanity. Breaking the fixed and Eurocentric patterns that traditional historiography is full of, the volume provides ideas and reflections to stimulate a non-stereotypical vision of history in the classroom.
It therefore proposes readings of passages, analysis of geo-historical maps and images, workshops and real-life tasks.
