Seminar in Haus Schlesien
From the 4th to the 11th of December a group of 32 WSF students were invited by Haus Schlesien in Königswinter-Heisterbacherrott to take part in a seminar entitled “Śląskie spotkania”.
The programme of the seminar was extraordinarily extensive. Its participants visited such cites as Bonn, Cologne, and Linz as well as numerous museums: Breslauer Sammlung (Wrocław collection), Kondrad-Adenauer-Haus (The House of Konrad Adenauer), Beethovenhaus (The House of Beethoven), Rheinisches Landesmuseum (The RHINE Museum), Haus der Geschichte (The House of History), Museum für schlesiche Landeskunde (Museum of Knowledge about Lower Silesia). Furthermore, the students took part in lectures and met Silesians – witnesses of historical events.
An important part of the programme was a visit to the Consul in Cologne and to Bonn, where the students took part in German lessons and history. In Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (Federalnej Centrali Edukacji Politycznej the could procure information materials, brochures, and books. On Friday evening they saw a theatre production in Bad Godesberg.
The participants were asked to prepare and present reports on the following topics:
-
Escape and expulsion
-
Homeland
-
Eastern expansion of the European Union
-
Poland in the eyes of Germans and Germany in the eyes of Poles
-
Treaty of Versaille
Participation in the seminar was a unique opportunity to familiarize oneself with the subject matter and to independently confront it.
The seminar was financed by recourses from the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs.
