History teacher Wendy Tribaldos said that an effort should be made, primarily at the level of teachers in educational centers to avoid memorizing dates and names that in the end does not pay off in any type of real knowledge, this, alluding to this subject.
He said that debate and reflection should be encouraged, because for that one studies history. “It is to avoid the mistakes of the past and to be able to project towards the future in a positive way,” he said.
He stressed that the first effort has to be made by teachers so that they can change that chip and understand that “history really is a fascinating subject, full of stories and not stories of bochinches that really touch the hearts of many people.”
He added that parents can also encourage reading through the Internet or the creation of small libraries at home. “It is important to give credit to the boys, they always surprise and have the ability,” he remarked.
Among other topics, Tribaldos spoke of his book, whose title is “January 9, 1964, what they did not tell me”, which emerged from a curatorship for the Museum of Panama City.
“I began this book with that story always told that I also thought I knew and as I began to delve into research I realized that what they had told me as a history teacher, and what they had told me was not necessarily certain. That led me to an adventure of almost three years of research and a trip to the United States to review files, and it was possible to rescue the unpublished video that was part of the launch of the book, “he explained.
He announced that his book will be available on social networks and on the website of the Interoceanic Canal Museum to be used as a national reference.
