Series of educational workshops for children and young people aged 6 to 18, dedicated to the Polish sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, with particular emphasis on those located in Lower Silesia (Wroclaw, Jawor, Swidnica), each of which will last 2 hours. During the workshops, various forms of cultural education and modern technologies will be used. On the basis of a multimedia presentation on Lower Silesian UNESCO monuments, various works will be created by the participants, including cartoons, posters, mock-ups and models on UNESCO sites in Lower Silesia. All works will be presented in the Visitor Centre interactive exhibition introducing visitors to the history of the Centennial Hall complex, which is visited annually by nearly 60,000 people (residents of Wroclaw and tourists from Poland and abroad).

Already in July and August, dedicated thematic walks for different groups of visitors will begin: children and young people, adults and seniors. The walks will take place in the Centennial Hall, a structure that has been on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List since 2006. Centennial Hall has been delighting for 110 years, and for good reason. Its innovative design, unusual material and construction technique made it a unique building from the very beginning. Carried out at an exceptionally fast pace, the construction of Centennial Hall was a special technological undertaking, an example of the highest engineering prowess and craftsmanship proficiency. The bold structural and organizational solutions applied became a model for other such realizations. The crowning glory had to be the unique laurel – the 2006 inscription of Maks Berg’s unique work on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Centennial Hall complex is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive landmarks of Wroclaw on the international arena and an extremely magical place of Wroclaw, where the pages of history record its multi-generational history. The guide will show visitors around the nooks and crannies of the Centennial Hall complex, tell about important architectural details and point out the traces of formwork. For what reason is Centennial Hall special and why was it recognized as a UNESCO site in 2006? What secrets does the building hide ? Is it true that the dome of the building is constantly moving? How come this huge concrete colossus was built in just 14 months? Interested parties will get answers to these and other questions during walks, during which we will prove that visiting a historic building does not have to be boring at all!
