Our first stop will be in Stalowa Wola. From September 3–5, we will be at Piłsudski Square, 1 Sierpnia Street 9, where the tour will officially begin.

The Mobile Stop History welcomes all age groups – children, teenagers, and adults. Educational projects by the New Technologies Office of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) provide entertainment, foster civic attitudes, expand historical awareness, and, most importantly, teach history in an accessible, modern, and effective way. Discover the effectiveness of immersive historical education and visit the Mobile Stop History.

What Games and Applications Can You Play?

At the event, you can explore all projects by the New Technologies Office, including:

• “Pilots – War in the Skies”: The latest educational adventure game, debuted on January 24 in London at the prestigious Bett London educational technology fair. The game highlights the achievements of Polish pilots during World War II. Available on PC and VR.

• “Cipher Game”: A school reading and the first production by the New Technologies Office. Set during the Polish-Bolshevik War, the player’s task is to break enemy ciphers and neutralize armored trains. Available on PC and VR.

• “Warsaw Rising”: A strategic game about the Warsaw Uprising. The story aligns with historical truth, meaning the uprising cannot be won. This production allows players to learn history, foster values, and shape civic attitudes. Available on PC.

• “Glider ‘87”: A VR application that takes you to a PRL-era apartment in Wrocław where underground press was printed. The apartment is faithfully recreated and interactive, allowing you to print more pages or eavesdrop on SB officers via the radio.

• “Witness to HELP”: A VR short film about the Ulma family, who sheltered Jews during World War II. Following a betrayal, the entire family and the Jews they protected were executed. The story is told from the perspective of six-year-old Basia, in a profoundly moving narrative.

Additionally, tablets with educational podcasts and quizzes based on New Technologies Office projects will be available. Teachers and educators can also access teaching materials to prepare unique history lessons.
