Tuesday 29.7. / 13:00-14:30, HUB 123
The sound of sirens, strained silence at the radio and encrypted messages in the pocket. This workshop, created by Memory of Nations, will take you back to 1938 through various tasks, eyewitness stories and authentic recordings. What will be your challenge? You will help the resistance movement and face danger. Can you keep a low profile, decipher the secret message and become part of the story of our brave ancestors? ODBOJOVKA is a unique experience which combines the game with a historical narrative and allows everyone to try what it feels like to be brave. At the same time, you will learn some new methods of experiential pedagogy that will enhance the presentation of modern history and create an engaging context for the use of audiovisual records from the database of Memory of Nations.
