In the Footsteps of Comenius

admission: 30 CZK per pupil (free for accompanying teachers)

We bring the story of this great man to life in the spirit of his vision: through play and learning.

Experiential pedagogy is a fresh, modern educational concept based on a simple premise: people remember their own experiences best, recall them most vividly, and perform well in tasks they’ve personally tried.

The entire program is divided into modules, each consisting of core activities, reflection, and generalization.

This is also an educational program, presented in a way that Comenius himself would have particularly appreciated – through active, exploratory, and playful engagement. We have revived the story of this remarkable man in a way that inspires both insight and learning.

Even within the vast condensation required to fit the life and work of John Amos Comenius into two hours, this program remains immensely enriching for both participants and facilitators. The magic moment when everything comes together and children reach the desired understanding is priceless. It transforms disinterested faces into engaged ones and turns idle doodlers into enthusiastic, collaborative young learners who absorb knowledge effortlessly.
