Discover Economics Schools Event - Economics in History: Representation, Protest and Political Extremism

Discover Economics and CAGE are hosting an afternoon workshop for secondary schools.

Title: Economics in History: Representation, Protest and Political Extremism

Date/Time: 18th March 2025 12.30-15.15

Location: University of Warwick

Lunch: A cold finger buffet will be provided – please detail any dietary requirements when registering.

Workshop: Building on the success of the first video series Why isn't the whole world developed?Link opens in a new window, released in March 2023 with over 40,000 views to date, we are releasing a second series on the economics behind political history.

Together we aim to reshape how history is taught in British and Irish schools. It is rare for students to have the opportunity to learn about the intersection of economics, politics and history and their effects on modern society.

Come to Warwick University to understand political history and how this has impacted their economy and the wider world.

The second video series will be shared with attendees prior to the event to prepare them for the tasks and activities on the day.

During the event, attendees will meet academics and current under-graduate students from the University of Warwick gaining insights into life at university whilst enhancing their current subject understanding. There will also be an opportunity for groups to go on a campus tour once this event has ended.

Audience: Year 12/13 students studying history, economics, politics, sociology. State school only.

Group size: Each school can bring 10 students and 2 staff members.
