We, the teachers from six different schools from six european countries (Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, France, Romania and Poland), defined following problem together the students still teach history extremely theoretically at many places, without using the huge possibilities given by technologies nowadays and its virtual dimension. It leads to the alienation from this subject and other problems, especially among students from ethnic minorities, disadvantaged children and migrants.
