"The first part of the Exhibiting Contemporary History programme was organised on a very high level. The most valuable experience for me personally was the communication with people, who are working in the museum sphere, both students and lecturers. Thanks to professionally selected seminar topics and literature we had a chance to see good examples of how theoretical frameworks can be effectively implemented in practice. Visits to Buchenwald and the Ruhr museum consolidated the learned material and were generally a very useful experience."
