I appreciate more, feel more engaged and interested in stories behind actual monuments.

I will no longer walk by a monument without looking at it and reading the plaque.

I’ve learned to look deeper into the messages behind monuments.

They go out into the crowd, they see the monuments, they talk to people and, ultimately, they feel empowered. That is because they do the work, they ask the questions, they are the creators. To be able to embrace the role of a journalist or a film director – that’s the most exciting part. Experimenting is encouraged and going off the beaten track is not frowned upon.

You have given us information that our history-education has failed to provide us.

It is good to see students engaging with these sometimes difficult topics. It takes them from a place of passivity to one of reflection and critical analysis.

Memory Walk broadens the knowledge of our students gain in history classes. They learn to express themselves in a creative way and learn that there are different perspectives on the same topic. And then it is up to them to choose.
