Bratislava City Museum

The project Welcome and keep your shoes on, please is an accompanying educational programme which supplements, illustrates and makes the display with the same title and subtitle The way we lived in the fifties more vivid. It is a package of creative activities comprising interactive assisted excursions based on the dialogue between visitors and the museum education officer.

This is a creative extension of the teaching syllabus for lessons of history, society and civics at Elementary Schools and GeneralSecondary Schools. It extends the education and knowledge of pupils, their communication skills and helps orientate them in the history. In the project, the lives of children and young people in the fifties are compared with the current lives of children and young people. The way of life then and today is contrasted. It leads to historical awareness and critical thinking on the part of pupils. Symbolically, it uses as a background the Zornička magazine and the Mladé Letá publishing house which were founded in the fifties and, still today, contribute to the cultural awareness of generations of readers.
