The Museum of Survivors is co-designed with school students from 5 countries to open in 2025 with your support.  Young architects from 110 countries contribute to the design under the Inspireli award founded by Vaclav Havel.

This project leverages the infrastructure plans for a new museum building, to equip it as a museum of survivors.  It implements testimony, iWALK and permanent digital place-based and virtual learning in the unique place where the events occurred.  The digital media and testimony activities are used, training local guides, to reach the expected 10-20,000 visitors per year for the Schindler’s Ark Museum.

The activities are adapted to the school curricula in the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Germany, to reach the 3 million upper secondary school children (aged 14-18) in these five countries.  In addition, the universality and recognition of the story will be adapted and translated to be available to the 22 million upper secondary school children in European countries, virtually or in place.

The objectives of the project are the following:

1. New hybrid digital and place-based media facilities equipped for the museum - A.  6 permanent testimony activities and interactive testimony developed, implemented and installed to reach 10-20,000 visitors p.a.  

B.  Exhibition "Starting from Zero" developed to travel to 3 European countries combining place-based, digital and school outreach learning.

2. Lifelong learning and new testimony and activities developed - A.  Co-design of the museum and development and implementation of six testimony activities with 5 European countries with measurable learning objectives, e.g. for gender, critical media skills, standing up to discrimination.  B.  Co-design of two iWALK activities, one local, one European, new testimony materials on second generation in open, access digital archive.  C.  Policy and teacher seminars to create European curriculum module, and training of local guides.
