In this presentation, Blake Seward asks the question, “how do we move away from Canadian history being the second most disliked subject in school?” He explains how his Lest We Forget project engages students, fosters historical thinking, and forms meaningful connections.

This presentation was made during the fifth Canada's History Forum on December 9th, 2012 at The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Canada.

Blake Seward is the 2006 Recipient of the Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching, founder of The Lest We Forget Project, and co-director of the Battlefields of Europe professional development tours for teachers.
