Cultural / Context information for the jury

THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT 29% of Germans were born after the wall fell and have no memory of the injustice and grief it caused — and no way to imagine that it could happen again. But unfortunately, border walls are coming back: Half of the world’s border walls have been built after 2000. And the low awareness among Berlin youth is a real problem, says Klaus Schroeder (Freie Universität): "Multiple studies show that the less high school students know about the DDR, the more likely they are to have a positive image of it".

Write a short summary of the ambient work.

TEAR DOWN THE WALL IN MINECRAFT EARTH 30 years after the Mauerfall, the Berlin DDR Museum let a new generation tear down the wall —now in augmented reality. We built three iconic segments of the Wall in Minecraft Earth, the AR sequel to the popular game. Here, gamers were able to witness the wall in its full scale in Augmented Reality. And to gamify the installation, they could even take part in tearing down the oppressive wall on their favorite platform. MERGING EDUCATION WITH ENTERTAINMENT We partnered with the DDR Museum to create an exhibition space and developed a comprehensive package of teaching materials in concert with interactive learning specialists. This allowed teachers to not just drum up interest for the historical subject, but expand it into a fully immersive micro-course on the increase of border walls in our time
