Interactive Learning Experiences

The educational programmes of Veszprém Dungeon bring the history of crime and punishment closer to students in an engaging and interactive way. Through special history lessons, drama-based workshops, thematic guided tours and city walks, pupils become not only observers but active participants in discovery. These activities foster critical thinking, empathy and social awareness, while offering a memorable experience for young people interested in history, literature and local heritage.

WHAT DOES VESZPRÉM DUNGEON OFFER SCHOOLS?

How Are the Educational Experience Packages of the Dungeon Visitor Centre Structured?

The programmes of the Veszprém Dungeon Visitor Centre are not merely guided tours or museum visits – they are carefully designed learning experiences, structured in three stages and tailored to the recommended age groups (from 12 years upwards). Their aim is to spark students’ curiosity about history, crime and punishment, and human destinies, while at the same time supporting the school curriculum and broader educational goals.

1. Preparation – with Teacher Support Materials

Teachers receive detailed resources to help prepare students for the visit and integrate the activities into classroom work.

This may include a preparatory discussion on the historical changes in crime and punishment, interactive worksheets, or even short thought-provoking exercises on judgement and the concept of guilt.

2. Experience – Interactive Discovery at the Dungeon

Students take an active role in the programme:

In special history lessons they explore the exhibition material as investigators.
In drama-based workshops they experience the emotional and moral dilemmas of decision-making situations.
On thematic guided tours and city walks they encounter the history of crime, punishment and justice at first hand.
