Why a Schools project?
The Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' presents the Battle of Arnhem in all its aspects. A visit to the Museum brings to life the events of September 1944. Experience has shown that the Museum is at the same time informative and impressive but that it can also be overwhelming. In that last respect some guidance of the children is called for. Through the years we have come to the conclusion that the multitude of impressions should be portioned and put into perspective. For that reason an educationally and historically sound Schools project has been developed by the Museum in cooperation with many others.

For whom?
It is intended for the top grades of primary schools and the junior years of secondary education.

What does the project consist of?

• a manual for teacher
• a letter to the pupil stating the intentions of the project
• school reading material as an introduction to the visit
• tasks for the pupils to be carried out during the visit to the Museum
• the basis for a paper to be done at the school
• an entry form
• the photographs and a filing cover are available at the Museum free of charge

User friendly for teachers and pupils
Guiding the project requires hardly any effort from the teacher and can easily be suited to the individual requirements and the time available for the visit. Copying of the tasks can be done entirely at the school's discretion.
