From the Great Depression of the 1930s to the financial crisis of 2008\, and from the monetary crises of the 19th century to those of medie val and ancient times\, these events offer vital lessons on risk managemen t\, public policies\, and the social effects of economic downturns. Teachi ng about these crises transforms history into a key tool for understanding contemporary challenges. It encourages students to explore multiple persp ectives which are essential to grasping the complexity of economic crises and for preventing the repetition of past mistakes. Integrating the study of economic crises into history education helps students sharpen their cri tical thinking skills\, understand the origins and consequences of economi c collapse\, and analyse contemporary economic issues - preparing them to actively engage in debates about the future of European societies.\n\nDuri ng its 5th Annual Conference the Observatory on History Teaching in Europe (OHTE) will publish its second Thematic Report on "Economic crises in hi story teaching" - the result of extensive collaboration with education aut horities of the OHTE member states\, experts from the Leibniz Institute fo r Educational Media / Georg-Eckert Institute\, under the supervision of th e OHTE Scientific Advisory Council. It provides a clear overview of how ec onomic crises – their origins\, effects\, and societal impacts are taught in secondary-level history education.\n\nWith one keynote speech (OHTE Tal ks) and an Oxford style debate (OHTE Debate) involving history students an d senior figures in politics and academia\, the upcoming OHTE Annual Confe rence promises to raise the level of discussion on the role of history in understanding the present and shaping the future.
