History
Aims
History as a subject is about human thoughts and actions, it deals with central concepts such as identity and commemoration. Being exposed to other perceptions enables experiences outside the own sphere of living, fostering reflection of personal ideas, values and behavioral patterns. Contemporary phenomena are considered a consequence of historical events, processes and structures. The examination of historical eras helps our students to orient themselves in the course of time.
Political education is taught in a specially created block week in the first grade. Engagement with politics shows the students the possibilities they have to take responsibility and to contribute to society and state.
