WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOL GROUPS
Stories on Escape
In this workshop school children of the grades 3 to 6 get to know possible motives for escape and the circumstances which have to be considered. "Imagine you had to flee. What would you take with you? What would you leave behind? How would you flee? Do you really want to take all this?" The pupils can express their ideas and experiences with the help of various techniques such as collage, drawing, printing game, or creative writing. The workshop can be booked as of the beginning of October.

Call for Protest
Members of the opposition wrote and copied handbills and newspapers on wax matrices. In the exhibition such an apparatus is available and after their exhibition visit pupils of the grades 7 to 13 can design their own handbills. Thus they gain insight into the complicated communication circumstances members of the opposition had to deal with in the GDR.

Youth in the Opposition
The workshop starts with an exhibition visit concentrating on the following aspects:
•Foundation of the GDR and opposition in the 50s and 60s (17 June 1953, Prague Spring 1968)
•Situation of artists and dissidents in the GDR
•Situation of the youth in the GDR – their possibilities of expression, development and organisation (e.g. "Umweltbibliothek", Initiative for Freedom and Civil Rights), part of the church
•Departure and escape
•Reaktions of the state considering the growing opposition – intention and results
Afterwards the pupils divide into study groups. In short biographies four persons are introduced which engaged in the opposition movement of the GDR as young adolescents: Bettina Wegner, Till Böttcher, Uta Ihlow, Roland Jahn. Then the pupils search for answers on one of the following questions with the help of a glossary, a plan of the exhibition marking the relevant stations as well as worksheets with detailed tasks:
•In which way does the opposition in the first years of the GDR differ from the opposition in the middle/end of the 80s?
•Which scope for design and rooms did the youth in the GDR have?
•Which role played departure and escape for the opposition in the GDR?
•What was the state’s reaction on the opposition becoming stronger and appearing before the public?
The results of the research will be presented and discussed in the plenum of the exhibition.
