The film is an attractive educational material for students, as well as an inspiration for schools to undertake similar activities. Self-made puppets and scenography, costumes and narrators’ scenes in the beautiful interiors of the Dobre Miasto basilica and collegiate church create a unique atmosphere of the Renaissance. The performance not only presents threads from Copernicus’s life, but is intended to inspire viewers to imitate the great scientist in his diligence, perseverance, putting his heart into developing his passion and persistence in achieving his goal.

In the seven most attractive points of Dobre Miasto, there are signs with QR codes, under which there are recordings with information about the player’s location, fragments of the performance about Copernicus and questions about the film. The correct answer redirects the game participant to the next station. Everyone can take a nice walk in the spirit of the Cittaslow idea, learning about the history of the monuments of Dobre Miasto, which is located on the Copernicus Trail, and facts from the life of the great astronomer.
