On Thursday, August 21, 2025, representatives of Wikimedia Czech Republic Lucie Schubert and Pavel Bednařík presented ways of writing history (on Wikipedia) at the Summer School of Research Studies. The aim of this lecture was to show teachers something about the history of Wikipedia and how the online encyclopedia works, but also to highlight the didactic possibilities of using Wikipedia in teaching history and other subjects. Twenty-five participants were introduced to exercises they can use with their students, whether it be the rabbit hole or searching for non-encyclopedic parts of texts. More information about the Summer School of Research Studies, organized by the Faculty of Arts of Charles University at the DOX gallery, can be found on this page.
