Theatre Workshops for Youth in Prague
Every year during the holidays, we organise a day camp in Prague for young people aged 11–19. Each camp focuses on a specific period or theme in modern history, using actual testimonies from eyewitnesses in the Memory of Nations archive. The result is an original theatrical performance that parents also get to see at the end of the camp week.
Summer Theatre Workshops, Prague 2026
The Memory of Nations Theatre invites young people aged 11–19 to summer theatre workshops in Prague in the form of a day camp. The five-day workshop does not include an overnight stay; it takes place every day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Prague 2, Vinohrady. The result of this collaborative effort is an original theatrical performance inspired by true stories from the 20th century.
