Adapting to Covid-19 in Latvia
Latvian museums are using virtual tools, like exhibitions, excursions, presentations of collections, and lectures, amongst other tools. Tukums museums has already prepared online material for teachers which could be used in distance learning to study themes of the 1905 Agrarian Revolt and the 1919 Latvian Independence War.
Tukums museum has published several films and teachers can use them free of charge. We have an idea to have translated film texts in English too but we need to look for resources.
Some ideas for the nearest future:
- Maybe this is a time for documenting stories. These stories could be about today or any historical period.
- We can invite people to collect and publish photos and documents which illustrate these stories. Museums can publish their own objects.
