Research

Cultural studies researchers, linguists and didacticians have worked with secondary school teachers to develop teaching materials which transcend subjects, based on research into the effect of Paul Celan's poem 'Todesfuge' (1945) on the arts and society. With funding from the vfonds and vsb-fonds, an exhibition (JHM-Amsterdam), website (celan.nl) and 25,000 workbooks were created for secondary schools, for history, art and language lessons. This material is being further developed.
