About Us

The One World in Schools education programme offers schools documentary films and methodical handbooks for teaching about topical subjects concerning today’s world and modern history. Our experiences over many years have shown that audiovisual materials have extraordinary potential for appealing to pupils from primary and secondary schools.

Our programme’s educational sets are used by teachers in more than 2,800 primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic. For several years now, the programme has also been implemented abroad (in Slovakia, Poland, Estonia, Romania, Sweden, Germany, and Lebanon among others).
