Welcome to the 22 July Centre!

The main target group for the 22 July Centre consists of all pupils from 8th grade up to the end of upper secondary school, but other groups are also warmly welcome!

We recommend that both preparatory and follow-up work be undertaken in association with a visit to the 22 July Centre. All educational programs include an introduction to the sequence of events on 22 July, an exhibition walk-through and an introduction to and a discussion of the terrorist’s objectives, motives and ideology, in addition to the content of the specific teaching material chosen for the visit.

All of our educational programs are free of charge.

For those who prefer a shorter visit for whatever reason, we offer a lesson that includes an introduction to 22 July and the terrorist’s objectives and motivations, followed by an individual exhibition walk-through and a concluding summary conversation. In this conversation you will have the opportunity to ask questions and express your own reflections.

This is the shortest lesson offered by the 22 July Centre. It provides an introduction to 22 July and the terrorist’s objectives and motivations, followed by an individual walk-through of the exhibition.

This is not an educational program, but an offer to school classes who wish to visit the exhibition when our capacity for teacing is full. The class will be met by an exhibition assistant who will provide practical information regarding your visit. Please make use of the resources you find on the page "In the classroom" on our web pages.
