As summer approaches, we can finally take a pause and momentarily step back from our duties at the universities. In this second issue of 2025, the Journal of Social Science Education is proud to present four original articles and a country report focusing on the historical development in the Czech Republic. We believe all of them bring new ideas and angles on social science teaching and learning. As the summer invites us to slow down and look anew at our own practices, we hope this issue can give inspiration and offer perspective on how our teaching can better support the development of knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes that students need to navigate and shape our societies. In these times, it seems more important than ever.
