IMMA Successfully Participated in the 7th International Conference of the Museum of School Life and Education

The 7th International Conference of the Museum of School Life and Education, entitled “Educational Games and Art in Education and Culture,” was successfully held online on November 7–8, 2026.

IMMA participated in the conference with two presentations. The first, entitled “When a Poster Becomes a Story: Promoting Reading, Creative Writing and Digital Storytelling at IMMA,” was delivered by Katerina Tzavara, educator, author and Head of Educational Programmes at IMMA. The second, entitled “Exploring History Creatively: Digital Activities for Children at the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle,” was presented by Vangelis Kansizoglou, historian and researcher at IMMA.

IMMA’s presentations focused on the educational use of modern digital tools in museum settings, aiming to foster creative engagement with the local history and architecture of Macedonia, as well as the integration of creative writing into informal learning. The presentations showcased a wide range of educational materials and practical suggestions for classroom use, opening up opportunities for communication and dialogue with both the educational community and other cultural institutions.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended our presentations and contributed to the discussion through their positive feedback, exchange of experiences and sharing of new ideas. Special thanks and warm congratulations go to the Museum of School Life and Education for its excellent organisation of the conference and the high quality of the presentations delivered.

IMMA remains actively committed to contributing to academic dialogue, promoting the exchange of knowledge and innovative ideas, while highlighting the evolving role of museums in contemporary education and culture.
