Fascinating deep dive, from Sarah Longair's keynote, into the material culture of the Seychelles including the coco-de-mer tree and the beautiful hand crafted objects that were produced by indigenous artisans #SHPDTC26

Sarah now showcasing how primary students can use material culture in their classroom using the example that she developed with @mr-s-tiffany.bsky.social on Joseph Banks

Wow! What a way to kick off Dr Sarah Longair's keynote for #SHPDTC26 with this fascinating look at the 'Yoruba' Queen Victoria

Judy Clarke and our hostess with the mostest, Rachel Bruce delivering the second primary workshop on embedding local history into the curriculum at the SHP Yorkshire History Forum.

@petejackson.bsky.social in full flow delivering his workshop on Effective Historical Writing, which was packed full of practical tips for everyone in the room at the SHP Yorkshire History Forum

Now this is the part of the SHP Yorkshire History Forum that created the biggest FOMO for me, Yorkshire Museum bringing their Viking Artefacts to handle!

And here's the first primary workshop from Charlotte Sellers giving some top tips for improving history in the primary classroom. Great to see @petejackson.bsky.social there to support, as they have both worked together for the last few years.

The @1972shp.bsky.social Yorkshire History Forum has kicked off! Great to see @historyrichk.bsky.social in the front row of @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social's presentation for secondary history teachers, 'Beyond the Metropole', looking at the impact of the Transatlantic slave trade on the regions.

I'm not a religious man, but if Eze's God delivers like this every match I might sign up!

This article should be read by every teacher of history. A powerful analysis of the why and the how of teaching about the Holocaust in an age of misinformation and conspiracy theory. Brilliant writing from @andypearce.bsky.social

Very much looking forward to my presentation at the OCR Forum tomorrow. I'll be talking about the history of the Schools History Project @1972shp.bsky.social and its core principles, and arguing that they provide a route map for addressing many of the proposals from the Curriculum Review ...

The @1972shp.bsky.social SHPUnderstanding:UNEARTHED webinar launched this afternoon and it was spectacular! Massive thanks to @btrappy.bsky.social for kicking us off with some brilliant sources about the Wardian cases that transformed the exchange of plants around the globe ...

I went to see #kaetempest at Brixton Academy last night and it was one of the most uplifting, beautiful gigs I've ever been to. There was so much love in the room, so much resistance. The final act of the show was an absolute masterpiece, a spoken word montage of lyrics that blew me away ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

So much @1972shp.bsky.social stuff going on right now! Last call to register for SHP UNEARTHED (Nov 10 5-6pm), our groundbreaking (ha ha!) webinar on Empire and Gardening - email [email protected] to sign up.

Just one week to go before our UNEARTHED webinar (just email [email protected] to register for your FREE place). Thought we needed some male role models to publicise the event as currently I am the ONLY male who is attending!! So come on lads, environmental history is for everyone!

Just in time for half term @1972shp.bsky.social is delighted to be able to announce that the tickets for our VIRTUAL Developing Teachers' Conference (Jan 31 2026) are now available from store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata... for inflation busting prices!

This was so much fun! Enjoy listening to the history of the Schools History Project @1972shp.bsky.social and find out why it is just as relevant today as when it was formed in 1972 (hence our Bluesky tag!)

It was so much fun chatting to @carmelbones.bsky.social about the history of the Schools History Project and how it can support the #historyeducation community today and in the future. I hope you enjoy the chat that we had with Mel @histassoc.bsky.social creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...
