A prologue that no one will read? Kidding..

In all seriousness, a technique I often use is pretty simple. I'll grab a young character that's being forced to learn history and have them read short spurts from a book or argue with the teacher to get some basic points across.

Another technique would be to use a character on the run due to their failure to obey the cultural norms/laws as an entry in to the story.

Neither need to have anything to do with the story itself. They're sole purpose is the introduce your world to the reader.
