What the charity does
Parallel Histories is a UK educational charity, founded in 2017, to improve the life chances of disadvantaged young people and promote social cohesion through innovation in humanities teaching. We empower teachers to teach controversial history by providing training, educational resources, and debating for young people. Through these three main activities, we work with over 1110 secondary schools.
