A 3-hour workshop was held at the Evening High School of Aigaleo on November 17th, 2016 regarding the use of historic photographs and other visual materials in studying European History. The workshop featured presentations by history teachers on using visual sources and a student presentation titled "A picture is worth a thousand words" where 10 students presented moments from Greek and European history through photographs. Photographs provide important windows into the past both for their aesthetic qualities and the data within, and when used with other sources can provide a balanced look at history not possible through words alone.
