"and today?": Video launch for an interactive learning platform

With over 30 million documents relating to the crimes of the Nazi regime, the Arolsen Archives are the world's most comprehensive collection centre for victims and survivors of National Socialism. These historical documents are still of great importance in today's society - the Arolsen Archives would like to show this to young people in particular. With an online event, we have helped to publicise the new target group-oriented learning platform "und heute?" to a broad public.

Learning platform "and today"

Reach a young audience with mini-games

Interactive maps on the "Landscape of Crimes", audio pieces on anti-Semitism and interviews on living together in Germany today; questions about the impact of citizenship, a visual journey through living rooms from the period after 1945, several quizzes or the opportunity to actively contribute to a digital memorial: With the new educational platform "und heute?" ("and today?"), the Arolsen Archives have created an innovative offering that brings young people closer to Nazi history and issues of social participation since 1945 in a fun way. Interactive mini-games impart historical knowledge and encourage people to engage with current social issues.

Multiply me

To mark the launch of this important platform, the Arolsen Archives organised a target group-specific online event in collaboration with 3pc. Teachers, multipliers, education policymakers and the specialised press were invited to get to know the new educational offering and explore its potential uses.

Live and interactive

In a workshop, we worked with the creators of the new offering to sound out their wishes for the planned event and then accompanied it with a professionally produced livestream in the look and feel of the Arolsen Archives. An interaction tool enabled participants to actively participate and ask questions. In addition, media content such as intro and outro screens as well as belly bands were created to support the presentation of the learning platform.
A successful start

Exciting information, interested questions from participants and a desire for more: thanks to the close collaboration between 3pc and the Arolsen Archives, "und heute?" was effectively publicised. The platform offers a modern and appealing opportunity to sensitise young people to the history of National Socialism and the importance of social participation.

All projects

Projects with purpose

For over 30 years, we have been working with remarkable institutions from the education, science, culture, administration or business sectors.

All our projects are based on common features: their demand for a high standard of editorial quality, their complexity and the fact that they are part of a greater societal change.

Throughout our work, an innovative and strategic outlook is key. At the same time, we have the highest demands on usability, design and the underlying technology of our work. All of these components must prove sustainable in the long term.

The projects that move us are socially relevant, they matter. At the same time, they enable and inspire us to try out new ideas and concepts.

In all contexts, we value a comprehensive understanding of the diverse organizational cultures of our clients. We know how to support employees in change processes and how to moderate cultural change.

We see consulting as a joint process in which we use co-creative elements as effective and active forms of collaboration. Our aim is to involve all relevant stakeholders in finding solutions in order to achieve an optimal result that will be accepted in the long term.

Awards

Our work has received many awards. We work on projects with journalistic standards and high benchmarks for design and usability. Thanks to these criteria, 3pc was awarded the Grimme Online Award as well as other prizes.

"In a world permanently surrounded by media and technical evolution our perception is changing, user interfaces - the interfaces between human and machine - play a key role. This is where the future is negotiated and where we help shape it.“

Germany's most popular voting tool

The interactive voting tool, Wahl-O-Mat (‘VotAutomaton‘) has become an indispensable part of voting behaviour in Germany since the 2002 parliamentary elections.

Berlin Institute of Health: How Research becomes Healthcare Policy

The Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), located at the renowned university hospital Charité, is a scientific institution for medical translation and precision medicine. The BIH is dedicated to new approaches for better prognoses and novel therapies as well as unsolved health problems. We provide support for the BIH and have completely relaunched their website. In the course of a relaunch process, the multisite www.bihealth.org was subjected to a continuous technical, content-related and visual refresh in individual work packages. Our challenge was to present the technical system, which had grown over time into a complex content structure, in a user-optimized manner containing information appropriate to their target group.
