What has happened in Europe over the past 20 years?
Geert Mak
More than ten years ago, VPRO Broadcasting company worked with the author Geert Mak to create the television series In Europe about the history of the 20th century. In 2019 and 2020, a follow-up series will be made focusing on the turbulent years since 1999. Where on earth did we go wrong these past two decades? What is left of all our great expectations?

In line with the television series, VPRO has worked with VGN and Euroclio to create an interactive education kit for students in grades 3 and 4 of senior secondary education and pre university education or grade 4 of prevocational secondary eduction which can contribute to forming opinions, citizenship and media literacy.
A clear video instruction, tailored excerpts from the series, and an education letter to facilitate teachers and students in making video clips. A one-of-a-kind European exchange project, in which students film their recent history, and research and compare themes like democracy, human rights, privacy, climate change and migration.
