This presentation is aiming at illustrating and sharing my experience in how to incorporate interdisciplinarity, multimedia research and creativity in designing courses and teaching about the European history, and how to engage students and focus their learning on these topics. I have taken examples from the courses of the MAHEC Programme, namely “Histoire de la construction européenne (1919-1993)” and “Histoire économique et sociale de l’Europe après 1945 – concepts, processus, acteurs” , as well as the BCE course “Transitions démocratiques en Europe centrale et orientale: histoire, mémoire(s), défis”, that I had been teaching since 2018. Emphasis will be placed on how to familiarise the students with the use of digital tools and methods for sources criticism and how to encourage them to use and analyse new, multimedia and non-traditional sources through experimental teaching and learning projects. The focus will be placed on the synergy which I developed with other colleagues from the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (specialists in Public History and Digital Humanities) in designing innovative and interdisciplinary projects which have served as a basis for the practical work in the above mentioned courses.
