    20 September 2019, Verdun

    The 2-3-hours workshop is addressed to history teachers and educators teaching the Great War history and the history of the interwar period.

    General objective of the workshop: Create a method of non-formal education about the First World War and its aftermath with the use of an outdoor exhibition.

    What can the teachers / educators gain:
    - A possibility to teach about a diverse history (facts) and various, sometimes conflicting memories in simple and relatively quick way
    - Possibility to teach about contemporary times through historical examples

    The workshop will be divided into three parts:
    I. (from 3:30 to 4 pm)
    The participants will make an attempt to compare the similarities and differences among the key topics required as obligatory by secondary school education curricula or during guided tours in museums devoted to the First World War and its aftermath.
