On the first day, participants will gather in Brussels, Belgium. From Brussels, the group will travel to a small French town where they’ll find La Coupole: one of the most atypical German constructions of the Second World War, which was intended to serve as a storage and launch base for the V2 rockets. Participants will attend a guided tour and receive all the information that’s needed to start with the content creation. In the afternoon we’ll travel to Dunkirk for free time and an overnight stay.
Day 2 starts in Dunkirk, where participants will visit the Operation Dynamo Museum. The museum tells the story of Dunkirk during WWII. From the Battle of Dunkirk and the evacuation of the British and French troops to England in 1940, to the Czechoslovakian soldiers liberating the town on 9 May 1945. There will be time for the recording of podcasts and videos and to reflect on the importance of remembrance, living in peace and knowledge transmission between the participants. We’ll stay in the same accomodation as the night before.
Day 3 brings the participants to the Belgian city of Mons, where we’ll pay a visit to the Mons Memorial Museum. The museum invites visitors to consider the complex realities of war-related phenomena. Participants will have time for their own research in the museum. In the afternoon the group will discover the city centre of Mons and the story of the end of the war and the liberation, by walking one of the themed routes of the Liberation Route Europe. In the afternoon, we’ll travel to Brussels to spend the night.
