HOW YPSO AND ĽAĽA WERE RESCUED

 An exhibition to mark 200 years since Ľudovít Štúr was born. The authors pondered how to make an exhibition about this important person in Slovak history and his work, how to make it instructional and also “Bibiana-like” playful, witty, creative and visually attractive. Children will read and write in Štúr’s language code, print the historical newspaper (Slovenskje národňje novini), and learn about Štúr’s life that will be presented in a creative visual form. A funny story will tell them how the (soft vocal) ˇ symbol and the letter y got into our language. The exhibition includes word games, tongue twisters, word collages and myriad other ideas and mysteries.
