The House of European History is dedicated to the understanding of the shared past and diverse experiences of European people. It's a place where you can discover different points of view and common ground in European history. Here you can strengthen your knowledge of Europe's common history and shared memories, reflect on the present, and visualize the future. Our aim is to provide a permanent so

urce for the interpretation of Europe's past – a reservoir of European memory. We also form a leading platform for connecting institutions dealing with European history and heritage. We believe the House is an exceptional place, where visitors become involved and can enjoy learning about the history of Europe and the process of integration, in twenty-four European languages.

La Libre : 'Postcolonial. Vous êtes sûr ? Un point d'interrogation dans le titre de l'actuelle expo "Postcolonial ?" à la Maison de l'histoire européenne, à Bruxelles pour questionner l'actualité du colonialisme. À la disposition d'un public (possiblement) dans l'ignorance, des objets et des faits. Et même des gens à écouter – aux trajectoires heurtées par le fait colonial.' - Aurore Vaucelle

‘I’m now beginning to make that link between imperial domination and the domination of the Earth’ - Yinka Shonibare

Material extraction was an essential feature of colonialism, closely tied to the growth of modern capitalism.

Empires harvested huge volumes of natural resources from their colonies to drive industrialisation.

They transformed occupied territories into plantations for cash crops like sugar, tea and coffee, and palm oil.

In this work ''The Botanist Kid (Boy)'', Yinka Shonibare CBE explores links between extractive colonialism and modern environmental crises.

❗Teachers❗ Have you heard?

We’ve added two new modules to HistoriCall!

Our ready-to-use content in 24 languages, now has 4 modules to help your students connect European history with today’s challenges

✅EU Pioneers: Meet the Founders of the Union
✅The Timeline of the EU”

❗NEW❗Trust or Trash? Media through the lens of European history

This module helps students develop media literacy and critical thinking skills needed to navigate today’s complex media landscape.

Through examples from European history, students learn to identify bias and manipulation, while reflecting on their own media habits. It builds understanding of the psychological mechanisms shaping media content across history, equipping students to become responsible media users, though, quizzes, AI-powered video explainers and more.

❗NEW❗What is racism? From colonial histories to contemporary inequalities

This module examines racism and colonialism through a historically and pedagogically sensitive approach.

Rather than presenting racism as isolated individual acts, it helps students understand how racism is historically connected to colonial expansion, how repercussions of colonialism are still shaping our societies, and what systemic racism is.

The module combines historical and artistic sources, testimonies, and reflective exercises, to support teachers in facilitating structured, informed and respectful discussions.

HistoriCall is:
👏 Free
👏Available in 24 languages
👏Ready to use
👏Based on the findings of a survey of 1000 teachers across Europe
