History isn't black & white
Education at the Museum of Danish Resistance
At the Museum of Danish Resistance, occupied Denmark becomes an experience that students can feel firsthand. Our teaching process takes them close to the difficult choices that real people faced – and asks questions that have no easy answers. Choose between guided tours, city walks and class programs developed for your subjects and educational stage.

Our Educational Profile
We create new learning spaces
Based on the occupation of Denmark, we create learning situations through dialogue and active participation that strengthen the students' ability to cooperate and act to be able to argue, discuss and reflect on the fact that not everything in the past is black and white.A playful approach
We value a playful and experimental approach to learning, where the museum's objects are made understandable, concrete and current, through senses and involvement. The museum's learning is based on the students' life world and preconceptions and it is based on the fact that students learn differently.
