Hungry for History

Hungry for History is a collaborative venture for all schools nationwide. It aims to instil a love of history in children of all ages and to encourage renewed passion for the learning of the subject that is the greatest teacher of us all.

The campaign takes its inspiration from the major approaching anniversaries of the First World War, World War II and the Battle of Waterloo amongst others. With the emphasis on commemoration and reflection at this unique time, it aims to strike a chord with young people, bring history alive, inspire the young generation of today and encourage a renewed appetite for the subject, which has been lacking in recent years.

A group of Lead Ambassadors is helping to coordinate it including Harrow, Wellington College, Uppingham, Wellesley House and The King’s School, Canterbury.

Our website, www.hungryforhistory.info, alongside social media, serves as a central platform for inspiration and information to schools nationwide who wish to be part of this campaign.
