Our Mission
Our mission at Parallel Histories is to empower school students so that they can think critically, to analyse and debate contested histories. By developing their critical thinking, oracy skills and self-confidence students are equipped with the skills to navigate conflicting narratives. Our resources cut through the rising tide of populism, helping young people to participate in healthy, civic and democratic society.
How we work
Parallel Histories is an 501c3 IRS-approved non-profit educational charity that helps teachers, and their students engage in evidence led investigation and debate of controversial histories in schools. We provide the educational means to do this safely. In a world where social media algorithms shape our news feeds and reinforce existing views and prejudices, the need for critical thinking, knowledge, free speech and open debate is ever more pressing.
