Lernen aus der Geschichte

Lernen aus der Geschichte (LaG)

"Lernen aus der Geschichte" (LaG) is a comprehensive online education portal and magazine dedicated to political education and the history of the 20th century. The portal and the magazine are aimed at multipliers, memorial and museum educators, teachers, and generally interested individuals.

• Learning & Teaching: This area offers a free resource of teaching materials and method suggestions for teachers and educators. It includes didactic filters, thematic search functions, and the possibility to present one's own projects and write reviews[2][4].
• Participate & Network: Here, users can bring in questions and ideas from their educational work, network nationally and internationally, announce events, and participate in competitions and funding programs[2].
• Online Learning: This area presents webinars from experts that are recorded and archived. Additionally, there are podcasts and guides for using Moodle in teaching[2][4].
• International Discussion: A primarily English-speaking area that offers international expert contributions, project presentations, and expert chats to discuss and exchange diverse perspectives on historical-political education work[2].

The main mission of LaG is to promote historical-political education work, particularly regarding sensitive areas of German history such as the Holocaust, National Socialism, and the history of the GDR and the FRG. The portal advocates for quality standards in education and cooperates with various public institutions and foundations[1][4].

LaG is committed to achieving long-term educational goals by:

• Offering an extensive project database where users can present their own projects.
• Publishing a monthly editorially managed magazine (LaG-Magazin) that addresses thematic focuses from German history.
• Enabling continuous training and further education through webinars and online learning modules.
• Promoting international perspectives and collaborations to strengthen historical-political education on a global level[1][2][4].

The portal was funded by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility, and Future between 2004 and 2012 and was awarded the Unity Prize in 2011[1]. These recognitions underscore the significance and quality of LaG's work.
