Teacher fellows
Hugh Castle
I have been involved with Parallel Histories since the start, helping develop the dual narrative approach, piloting early materials in schools and leading Erasmus programmes. I also served as Chair of Trustees for six years.
Over the last ten years, I have seen the benefits of the Parallel Histories approach in schools in many settings; field trips, classroom and online debates and in gatherings large and small where Parallel Histories draws young people together across the community divides to debate the historical issues that keep people apart.
Witnessing the empowering effect that Parallel Histories brings young people is a powerful motivation to keep developing opportunities for teachers and their students.
Through our international community of schools we bring young people together at a time of isolationism. And in an algorithm dominated space online, we help young people to build the confidence, skills and knowledge they need to navigate a safe path and make up their own minds.
In 32 years of teaching history, 22 as a Head of Department, Parallel Histories was the standout innovation in history teaching and I am delighted to play a part.
