Let’s Speak the Truth about ‘56
Competition for History Teachers
In cooperation with the History Teachers’ Association of Hungary, a competition has been announced for history teachers entitled “Let’s Speak the Truth about ‘56” (‘56-ról hitelesen). On the sixtieth anniversary of the 1956 Revolution, this project aims to present the era of the Revolution, its aspirations, events, consequences as well as the lessons learned using primary sources of information, original footage, images, voice recordings and written documents, enabling students to understand history and put themselves in the shoes of their predecessors. Two types of entries may be submitted: either scenarios or electronic creations/installations that can be used during commemorative events in schools. Prizes worth a total of 1 million forints will be awarded to the winners of this competition for teachers.

The project is part of the Archivum’s “The Revolution is Not the Past!” program, which is supported by Donald Blinken, former US Ambassador to Hungary, and his wife Vera Blinken.
