1. Workbook about the permanent exhibition.

The Education Department has created the "Workbook" aimed at children and young people and is designed for going into greater detail and reflecting on all the information given during the visit to the Peace Museum. To complement it, there is also an "Answer Book". Both of them have been created in 4 languages (Basque, Spanish, English and French).

The workbook is too extensive to be able to complete it in one visit to the Museum. We therefore recommend that some exercises be carried out before the visit and others afterwards.
