Education has been one of the central pillars of public service television in Europe. Public service broadcasters were often mandated to provide educational programming. Broadcasters often developed innovative ways of reaching and engaging their education

This is even more urgent in the recent context in which parts of education are moving online, and learning practices within the educational sector have been more and more guided by digital technologies and digital content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, but not least, how can we work towards a future where new television technologies are opened up for learning and education, and digitized historical content can be used both in education and in the formation of teachers and practitioners?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
