On the occasion of the anniversary of “500 years of the Three Leagues Free State”, the Office for Popular Education and Sports has developed a learning concept for the new teaching medium “Grisons at a Glance”. The learning concept entitled “In the Footsteps of the Three Leagues” promotes historical awareness among pupils and is available in digital format in all eight languages of schooling.
History surrounds us and the past leaves traces that reach the present. For the Canton of Grisons, it is very important to pass on its history and culture. Before Grisons became part of the Helvetic Republic, the Three Leagues laid the foundations for today’s Canton with its borders, culture and linguistic diversity.
In collaboration with the publishing house «Schulverlag plus», the Office for Popular Education and Sports has designed and developed a digital learning approach on the Free State of the Three Leagues. This learning approach is available to teachers as well as pupils in the form of entertaining and informative teaching units. Starting with the 500th anniversary celebrations, pupils engage with the history of the Canton of Graubünden and follow in the footsteps of the Three Leagues, exploring various questions about the origin and development of the Canton. Among other things, they discuss what happened in 1524, why there is talk of a Free State and why this alliance was signed. With the fictional story of Maurizio, Bertilla and Jovin address historical questions about the origins of the Canton, analysing various sources.
In digital format and in eight school languages«Colpo d’occhio Grigioni» is a digital teaching aid for the subject nature, human beings, society (NEUS) for the second cycle and takes into account the specific regional requirements of the Study Plan 21 Grigioni. Both the teaching aid and the learning approach «In the footsteps of the Three Leagues» have been published in the eight school languages: German, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, Surmiran, Puter, Vallader, Rumantsch Grischun and Italian.
