Its immediate goal was not only to explore the new methodological approaches to so-called “dissonant heritage”, but also to provide the young scholars with an interdisciplinary set of research tools and experience that would enhance and facilitate their further research.
It was our guiding principle to start this summer school in the so-called “periphery of Europe”, and try to export some of the lessons learned there into the much more theorized context of Western Europe. The German leg of the school was therefore to take place only after we had explored the Lithuanian-Belarusian borderlands.

Considering their significance and prevalence in Northern and Eastern Europe, little is known about how contemporary children perceive these cultural heritage spaces. This study scrutinizes how primary school pupils from Sweden and Belarus encountered visits to Skansen (Sweden) and the Belarusian State Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Lifestyle (Belarus) and expressed experiences about their visits in drawings and in follow-up interpretations. To record the patterns in children's experiences, a mixed method was employed, including participant observation, thematic visual analysis of drawings and verbal analysis of interpretations. The findings demonstrate that despite the programmed itinerary of the guided tour, the institutional setting of the open-air museums determine a context-specific situational interest, which facilitates exhibit-, nature-, and socially-determined memorable experiences of the open-air museums. The paper contributes to the conceptualisation of children in museum research beyond the learning trope, emphasising the importance of physical settings of cultural heritage sites and situational interest in co-creation of meaningful experiences of the museum visit.
