"Historiana is an on-line educational multimedia tool that offers students multi-perspective, cross-border and comparative historical sources to supplement their national history textbooks.
Historiana might be considered as a digital alternative to a European textbook, however the website does not attempt to present a comprehensive ‘story of Europe’ and its relationship with the rest of the world. It offers a framework for comparing and contrasting the impact on and responses by Europe’s nations to a range of different events and developments which have shaped the world from the distant past to modern times.
Historiana promotes the acquisition of cross-border historical knowledge and the development of critical thinking, digital and other transversal competences important for preparing a young generation for active participation as citizens of the 21stCentury."

El sitio web Historiana, ofrece contenido en inglés de diferentes fuentes históricas, proporciona un marco para comparar y contrastar el impacto y las respuestas de las naciones europeas a los acontecimientos que han configurado el mundo actual. Puede utilizarse como apoyo del libro de texto aunque su principal objetivo es fomentar el pensamiento crítico y digital, creando así jovenes preparados para la "participación activa" como ciudadanos de este siglo.
