World Histories Since The 15th Century: Communities, Conflict and Cooperation

Abstract

This resource pack contains four unique lessons that look at communities on different continents: North America, Europe, Africa. These lessons, although very different, share a common theme of looking a both world issues and community-based issues through a social justice lens. These lessons attempt to focus on the stories of people in history whose voices were silenced. We believe that linking social justice education with history education prioritizes teaching a holistic historical narrative from the bottom up. We believe this focus will help promote global citizenship in today's connected world.
