13-18 c. Vilnius as the capital of the Grand Duchy
of Lithuania, played an important role in the whole
region: Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland;
Vilnius is the most easterly city of the Central
Europe, subject to a strong influence of Eastern and
Western European cultures, a typical example of
medieval street patterns with valuable monuments of
Gothic, Renaissance, Classical and Baroque
architecture.

VILNIUS
What “dark clouds” threaten to a future of a
city which survived since 13 c.?

First of all – to know, to evaluate and take
activities for safeguarding the values
A great help – an Educational Resource Kit for
Teachers “World Heritage in Young Hands”
developed by UNESCO

12. PREPARATION TO INVESTIGATE
A visit to the site by the teacher(s)
Preparing a questionnaire in order to measure
the change in students’ knowledge, attitudes,
skills and behavior in site and its conservation
Preparing students for special types of
activities (recreating the past, telling stories
and legends about the site or drawings of it)
Plan the work that students will be asked to
do as follow-up to their visit

13. AN EXAMPLE OF ACTIVITY
