A Mirror of Generations

Were the families of Pressburg merely passive witnesses to history, or did they help shape it? This educational programme will present the stories of Pressburg families from the 19th and 20th centuries. Through problem-based learning, pupils will work with the stories of specific families; in teams, they will gather evidence, interpret it and piece together a mosaic of the lives that once shaped the character of Pressburg.

Keywords: family stories, entrepreneurship, macrohistory vs. microhistory, 19th and 20th centuries, Pressburg
