"The first part of the Exhibiting Contemporary History programme was prepared in a very thorough, multifaceted way and turned out to be a success. The organisation was impeccable."

"The visits to Polish museums followed by meetings with the staff and insightful discussions were a great chance to use the theoretical knowledge gained during the first phase of the programme. The apt choice of the visited museums and memorials allowed the participants to discover and critically discuss the Polish memory landscape. The proposed interpretation frame for the visited sites and exhibitions will be in my opinion very useful for our future projects."
