Digital and cinematic activities are also an important part of the project. A special subpage is being created that allows people from all over the country and abroad to access the exhibition content. The exhibition ends with a series of historical films of an educational and popularizing nature, prepared in collaboration with an annoying historian, bringing the context of events and characters associated with Petrkov and the Polish legions closer.
The project is implemented in cooperation with the State Archive in Piotrkow Trybunalski and Cor Ignis, which ensures a high level of content, reliable transmission and strong educational opportunities. The project's activities are aimed at preserving and popularizing cultural heritage, increasing the accessibility of culture, developing digital and educational competencies, and promoting Petrków Trybunalski as a city with a rich and significant heritage of independence.
