History workshops - Instytut Pileckiego
The history workshops listed below are intended for elementary school grades 7 and 8, as well as high school students. They are based on topics related to 20th-century history and Polish language education, while also extending beyond the standard school curriculum.
We particularly encourage history and Polish language teachers, as well as religion, ethics, and homeroom teachers, to register their groups for the workshops, as teaching about the history of totalitarian regimes also involves addressing complex social issues.
We invite you to visit the permanent exhibitions at the Gallery in Dom Bez Kantów, located at 11 Krakowskie Przedmieście, either with a guide or independently. Here you can learn more about the wide range of activities organized by DBK.
ALL CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ARE FREE OF CHARGE
