“In our Museum…we bring the history of Macedonia to life!”: Autumn Workshops of Education & Creation at the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle

The program of the workshops is part of a wider thematic about the history of Macedonia, which is examined as a birthplace or a place of residence. It is further “revealed” to the children through experiential activities in the only Museum that narrates our Modern history. The concept of the homeland, which gives birth, which offers, hosts, gathers, rescues, claims, justifies, unites and finally (re)creates us, is taken up through the history of its people, to be understood by children and to be presented with an artistic way and discourse through their own eyes and works.
