History workshops - Instytut Pileckiego
Below you can find a program of history workshops for students in the upper grades of primary schools and for secondary school students. The classes are aligned with the core curriculum for 20th-century history, while also going beyond it to provide a valuable supplement to school education.
We encourage history teachers to register their groups, as well as literature teachers, since our offer includes lesson plans devoted to 20th-century Polish poetry. We also invite teachers of religion and ethics, along with homeroom teachers, as our exploration of the history of totalitarian systems is accompanied by an accessible discussion of broader axiological issues.
We invite you to visit exhibitions at the Gallery at Dom Bez Kantów (Krakowskie Przedmieście 11) with a professional guide or on your own - here you can read about the wide range of activities offered by DBK
ALL CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS ARE FREE OF CHARGE
