The national touring exhibition “FOSTERED. LOCKED AWAY. FORGOTTEN?” sheds light on the history of compulsory social measures and placements in Switzerland, and how the country has come to terms with them. The exhibition brings this story to all regions of Switzerland. Lower and upper secondary school classes can participate in a guided educational programme in the form of a dialogue-based tour. Educational materials are also available to teachers for use in preparation for and follow-up  after the exhibition visit.
