“Journey to the new homeland” Educational and entertainment workshops for children at the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle!

We welcome the autumn with the Museum’s hands-on workshops for children aged 5-12, which will take place in the Museum’s premises before the start of the school year. The workshops are implemented by the Museum’s interdisciplinary team and aim to foster the historical culture and cultural development of children through educational activities for entertainment and learning. The central theme of the workshops is the concept of homeland, as it is formed through the children’s relationship with the place, language, family, public art, people’s actions and their daily habits.

To be entertained through the discovery of the Museum and history through audiovisual projections and experiential walks in the centre of Thessaloniki.

Develop skills of emotional intelligence, creative expression and digital applications.

Experiment with original painting techniques and materials inspired by the artworks of the Museum’s temporary exhibition “Monumental Places. From Pontus and Asia Minor to Macedonia”.
