Description

This web-based learning app is intended for schoolchildren in Year 7 and above, as well as anyone else who is interested. It is centred around the life stories of five people who experienced compulsory social measures and placements. Personal video testimonials, source material and reflections provide historical context. Learners can record their thoughts in a digital album and share their reflections, learning how the life stories of different people can unfold and how the wrongs that people suffered continue to have an impact today. The app is modular and free to use, and registration is not required. There are also classroom materials and a manual for instructors. The learning app was developed by the Lucerne University of Teacher Education in collaboration with the Universities of Teacher Education in Vaud and Ticino, the “Our Faces – Our Stories” Association and the Feinheit company.
