Abstract
The article presents a form of teaching outside the classroom, performed in Zagreb’s Upper Town. This project is designed for two school lesson (90 minutes) but it is also applicable for one school lesson, with some adjustments. Students are supposed to carry out the assignment as a group, and the teacher is there only to give clarity. The task guides students through the political history of Croatia as well as local history of Zagreb. The idea was first implemented at the History fair – a history popularization program held in November 2025 at the Upper Town school in Zagreb. The aim of this type of a lesson is to teach students about the center of the city in which they live – and through it, about the Croatian and local history.
