Women of Amsterdam - an ode
Do you also find it strange that women are so invisible in the story of Amsterdam? The Amsterdam Museum thinks it is high time to change this with you. In the educational program accompanying the exhibition Women of Amsterdam - an ode, students are transported through 750 years of Amsterdam from a female perspective and write their own ode to an Amsterdam woman in letter form. All odes will be included in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum!
For primary education, secondary education (havo/vwo) and preparatory secondary vocational education (vmbo) we have developed educational programs. The program for vocational education (mbo) is still in development.
Please note: At the moment, we only offer the educational programs in Dutch. The information on the level-specific webpages is therefore in Dutch. However, please contact c.versluijs@amsterdammuseum.nl if you wish to book this program in English. Together we can discuss the possibilities.

Primary education
Learn about history through inspiring women, and write your own ode to a special woman! The educational program for grades 6 through 8 of primary education focuses on writing education, and aligns with the domains of Dutch and Orientation to Yourself and the World (Nederlands en Oriëntatie op jezelf en de wereld). It can be flexibly adapted to the needs of your students, from a language or history lesson or short guided tour to an entire project week!

Preparatory secondary vocational education (vmbo)
Ever written a letter? Write an ode to a special woman! The educational program for vmbo focuses on writing education, where students learn to write their own ode to a woman based on stories about Amsterdam women. It thus aligns with the writing skills component of the Dutch domain. The program can be flexibly adapted to the needs of your students, whether you just want a short guided tour or an entire project week!

Secondary education (havo/vwo)
Conduct research on an Amsterdam woman, and write an ode to her! The educational program for havo/vwo focuses on writing education, with a major emphasis on research skills as well. This links it to the domains of Dutch and People & Society (Nederlands en Mens & Maatschappij). The program can be flexibly adapted to the needs of your students, from a single lesson in Dutch or history to a large cross-curricular project.
The programme is primarily designed for grades 1 to 3, but can be expaned to higher grades. Click on the button below for more information about the program.
