Guided tours
Workshops
The Museum of Utopia and Daily Life offers seminars and workshops to school classes in Secondary Levels I and II. The workshops last two or more days and cover various themes.
For school classes
We offer workshops lasting two or more days to groups of schoolchildren. The workshops can focus on the independent preparation, implementation and assessment of a discussion with contemporary witnesses. Please arrange a date well in advance.
Secondary Levels I and II can also attend seminars and workshops on the following themes:
- Everyday life and governance in the GDR, based on the exhibition, a film and objects in the collection
- Architecture, urban planning and visual arts based on the example of the planned city of Eisenhüttenstadt
- Religion, politics and society in the GDR, focusing on the example of Eisenhüttenstadt
Modules in these fields can be optionally combined. Our team can provide individual advice and support with applications.

Regular workshops are also held in cooperation with schools in the region, where the field of everyday culture in the GDR is approached in an artistic and creative way.
CloseSchool projects
Expert personnel supervise the school project days in the fields of historical, political and cultural education. The communicated content is compatible with the school subjects of history, politics, economics, geography, art, “social, religious and ethics studies” (“LER”) and religious studies.
The projects are aimed at problem-orientated teaching and the independent development of skills, as well as gaining insight into key aspects of the social, everyday and cultural history of the GDR.
The programme is framed by introductory and assessment group-sessions. The core modules are a guided tour of the exhibition, watching and discussing the documentary film and working with original contemporary witnesses. The schoolchildren work in small groups to develop their own questions and possible solutions to a given task. The results are shared in a collective exchange of findings at the end.
Duration: approx. 4 – 5 hours
The costs for participating are € 1 per pupil per day, plus € 15 (total) for the group guided tour.
