• meetings and consultations with experts,
• international cooperation with a school in Vienna and a field trip to Vienna,
• presentation of the project outcomes in a new exhibition space of Bratislava City Museum.

Who are we looking for?

• two secondary school classes from Bratislava or the surrounding area that are open to active and participatory involvement,
• engaged teachers with an interest in modern history and project-based learning,
• students with a conversational level of English.

What will you gain?

• a free educational programme led by experts, including methodological support for teachers throughout the project,
• development of critical thinking, historical thinking and soft skills,
• an opportunity to present students’ work as part of a real museum exhibition,
• international cooperation and networking,
• a certificate of participation and the opportunity to build a long-term partnership with Bratislava City Museum.
