City Stories
Creative outdoor learning experiences for secondary schools.
How stories shape a city.
Students explore Amsterdam through its people, places and stories. Guided walks, observation and creative activities help them investigate how different communities experience the city and how its streets and public spaces change over time.
Along the way, students gather photographs, sketches, questions and observations. These become the starting point for “Amsterdam Through My Eyes”—a personal story map connecting what they discover with their own perspectives.
Choose a half-day programme, a full-day project or a series of sessions. Each experience can connect with your curriculum, current themes or school projects.
