Let's talk about freedom is an educational programme prepared by Center for Citizenship Education, The Institute of National Rememberance and The Warsaw Rising Museum. The aim of the programme is to make youngsters be familiar with events from the modern history of Poland and to show them how the civic society has been shaping since the last fifty years. An important part of working under the project are meetings and individual interviews of youngsters with history's witnesses.

Meeting a history's witness, writing down their story, retracing and commemorating events in which they participated – are said to be tasks ahead of us in the course of a project. Nonetheless, before you start your work, you have to be well-prepared – formulate your subject and take into consideration what you want - due to your work – to achieve.

How to teach basic facts about chosen events from the Polish history?

 

 

We decided to try to understand the reality of the Polish People’s Republic – not only connected with politics but also the life of common people

We introduce scenarios drawn up by teachers who use techniques of the interview and meeting with the history’s witness in their work with students.

Several years ago, encouraged by the Association of „Children of the Holocaust”, we decided to bring the figures of people badged with a title „The Just Among the Nations”. We are truly sure that fortunes of those people – who, with a risk to their own and their families' lifes, saved sentenced to extermination Jews – is the most important lesson to be made.
