#1917LIVE, #Romanovs100: Engage. Inspire. Educate.

Description:

We live in an intense and noisy world that we mostly perceive through gadgets & social media. Our brains are now accustomed to consuming information through what we know as the newsfeed. Younger generations already have this timeline mentality from early childhood. Our challenge is to identify how innovative educational projects could resonate with this model of thinking.
Presenting #1917LIVE & #Romanovs100: social media storytelling projects which help young people engage with history.
