New! WebQuest for education

“A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. WebQuests are intended to use learners’ time meaningfully, to focus on the use of information instead of the search for information, and to support learners on the level of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.”

(Definition by Bernie Dodge, the inventor of the WebQuest)

In the context of our current exhibition “Between Uncertainty and Confidence. The Art, Culture and Everyday Life of Polish Displaced Persons in Germany 1945-1955”, which is accompanied by a huge number of articles on our portal, we are offering schools a WebQuest containing complete training documentation.
