The House of European History is a place for you and your students. It informs, challenges, serves as a forum to remember, reflect, and respond to Europe’s past and future. It allows the questioning and learning of history. A key element is meaningful exploration and understanding of the influential role that history plays today in our world.
Workshops for teachers
Our group of teacher trainees had a great time at the House of European History. The guided tour was appreciated by all our teacher trainees because we got a good overview of the didactic approach and of course the exhibition. Many fellows said that they consider coming back with school students when they eventually have graduated.
