Progress

'Freedom' is a teaching course that focuses on freedom in a cultural-historical development context. The students must first work with primary sources in the associated teaching material, which you will find on this page as a PDF.
Next, they will visit Reventlow-Museet Pederstrup, where they will work with various activities, while we hear about the Reventlow family's radical break with education and human views.

The themes range from land reform and democracy to gender and sexuality. Freedom has many forms.

Background

200 years ago, Denmark was changing. The rich gentleman, Viscount Christian Ditlev Frederik Reventlow, from the Pederstrup estate in Lolland, was at the forefront of the fight for freedom - freedom for poor farmers. But the freedom he fought for ended up being the end of the power of the rich lords.

Power shifted. The farmers became citizens and Denmark a democracy. Herregården Pederstrup still stands, and the story of Christian Reventlow is still alive.

In the accompanying teaching material, through primary sources and assignments, you can learn about the changes and how the freedom that Christian Reventlow fought for became the rights of modern people.
