Can you truly understand the present by looking at the past?
Revisit History is an educational concept at the intersection of education, heritage, and social change. Various formats invite participants to reflect on history, representation, power, and citizenship.
One of these formats is Revisit History: A Colonial Present. During a guided city tour in Antwerp along unexpected colonial heritage sites, young people are introduced to Belgium’s colonial past. They are encouraged to link historical structures to current societal issues.
Revisit History: A Colonial Present also offers other formats for young people, school groups, and teaching teams. Workshops, dialogue sessions, or reflective interventions are set up on request and tailored to specific needs. Students can also take part in the Impostor Game workshop, in which they critically examine kingship, capital, and missions.
