The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe together with the centre 'Memory and Future' are carrying out a project for historical education 'Closer to modern history of the region' for secondary schools in the districts of Świdnica and Wrocław.
During the project, students will participate in workshops on the history of Lower Silesia after 1945, during which the main focus will be on presenting the first post-war years, the history of the first Polish settlers and the action of "polonisation" of space and stories about the past of the Western Territories. After the workshops, the students will visit the Centre of History "Zajezdnia", where they will be able to see the permanent exhibition "Wrocław 1945-2016", telling the story of the post-war life of the city and its inhabitants.
The aim of the project is to learn more about the history of the region and to increase regional and local identity among schoolchildren living in the historical Western Lands.
