PETRÁŠOVÁ, Alena
The thesis is about a project for teenagers, called "Chain tour guiding". The project has been held in Vrchotovy Janovice every year since 1994.

It establishes its structure as a project, forms the goals, methods of realising the project, concomitant materials and rating. The author (of the thesis) gains the information from methods of historical pedagogical research, draws the information from specialised literature, provides the documentation analyses and carries out the interviews with the authors of the original project. The first two chapters describe the elements which include experiential pedagogy, object learning, communal learning and revival history. There is an independent chapter dedicated to the Vrchotovy Janovice chateau and the surrounding park. The last part of the thesis defines the definition of "Chain touring" as a project.
