This year, Wikimedia Czech Republic is participating for the first time in the Summer School of Research-Based Teaching, organized by the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, whose program features the best examples of research-based approaches in teaching not only history but other subjects as well.
As part of the media education track, we have prepared a workshop for teachers on Thursday entitled How to Write History (on Wikipedia)? Wikipedia as a tool for historical and interdisciplinary research.
The workshop will be led by Lucie Schubert and Pavel Bednařík.

The third annual Summer School of Research-Based Teaching: Where to Go to the Past?, will take place on August 21 and 22, 2025, at the DOX Center for Contemporary Art, Poupětova 1, Prague 7, and is organised by the research group for digital didactics, which was established at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in cooperation between the Institute of Czech History and the Institute of Information Studies and Librarianship.
The third year of the Summer School of Research-Based Teaching goes beyond the scope of history and opens up space for a wide range of other disciplines that deal with the past. We want to explore specific ways of developing interdisciplinary links, which we consider to be an essential challenge for school education. Although the common denominator remains inquiry-based, activating, or activity-based teaching, we are interested in how it can look in history and civic education, in the teaching of geography, foreign languages, philosophy, or literature. During the two-day meeting, based on proven materials and the sharing of practical experience, we will try to explore together the possibilities of linking subjects in regular teaching at all types of schools and offer inspiration for inquiry-based teaching with historical themes in subjects other than history.
