Discover the Nijmegen of 1944/1945

The best way to learn is by experiencing it yourself!  

The ‘Discover the Nijmegen of 1944/1945’ programme (2 hours long) introduces school groups to the exact events that took place in Nijmegen during World War II. By experiencing and seeing the situation for themselves, pupils learn more about their own surroundings. Activities take place both inside and outside the Infocentre WW2 Nijmegen.

This programme’s main themes are the bombing of Nijmegen, the period when Nijmegen was a front-line city and the evacuation. Pupils are encouraged to imagine what it was like living in those times.
