Join us for a special webinar organised by the International Council on Archives (ICA) and the ICA Photographic and Audiovisual Archives Expert Group (PAAG) on Monday, 26 January 2026 to mark the International Day of Education 2026.
In an era shaped by misinformation and fragmented narratives, the role of audiovisual and photographic archives has never been more vital. This webinar will explore how historical images, films, and sound recordings can enrich learning, sharpen critical thinking, and support educators in bringing history, culture, and everyday realities to life in the classroom.
