The guests were welcomed by the host of the venue, Dean of the Faculty of History of the University of Gdańsk, Arkadiusz Janicki, PhD, Professor of the university. In a few words, he mentioned the successful cooperation with the Gdańsk branch of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), especially thanks to the 2021 cooperation agreement between the Institute of National Remembrance and the University of Gdańsk. He thanked the director of the Gdańsk Branch of the Institute of National Remembrance, Dr Paweł Piotr Warot, for the opportunity to present IPN projects in such a modern way.
Magdalena Hajduk, director of the IPN’s New Technology Division, then took the floor. She began by explaining that the direction of the activities of the New Technology Division, such as the implementation of the Future History Mobile Stop, was determined by the results of research compiled in the IPN report “Immersive historical education – towards new educational paths”. She also talked about gaming projects: ,’Cyphers Game’ and ,’Glider ’87’. She invited everyone from Gdańsk and the surrounding area to visit the Future History Mobile Stop in Gdańsk.

He talked about how diverse the activities of the IPN are, pointing out that IPN has the largest publishing house in Poland, which releases new publications almost every day. Aware that books are not everything, Director Wawrot emphasised that IPN wants to present history in different ways, because history never ends.
