In this creative program, participants of all ages explore everyday school life before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

What did a school folder look like in East Berlin and what did one look like in West Berlin? What did people learn in Kreuzberg and what did they learn in Marzahn when Berlin was divided by a wall? And what changed when Germany was reunified and GDR textbooks suddenly became "worthless"?
In this activity, participants find out what belonged in an East and what belonged in a West German school bag. They browse through textbooks and children's magazines from the divided Germany and compare Bummi-Bär and Bussi-Bär. Textbooks and school documents from 1991 shed light on the consequences of reunification for schools. The objects from back then evoke memories for the older children and invite them to talk and exchange ideas.
