The thesis describes a foundation of The National park in
Štramberk as a place of memory that was founded by a local
mayor and doctor Adolf Hrstka. The first, theoretical, part of
the thesis deals with project-based learning and regional
history which is followed by a project intended for students of
history seminars at secondary schools in the last part of the
thesis. Further attention is drawn to phenomena of collective
memory and creating national identity. The thesis is
methodically based on the Pierre Nora’s concept of “place of
memory“ and in addition to the above the thesis outlines the
political, social and cultural issues of the time The National
park was founded.
