In an effort to bring children closer to books and literature, the Foundation of the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle and the Modern History of Macedonia (IMMA) has been organising reading promotion and creative writing workshops for children for the past four years. This educational programme combines reading, writing and entertainment and takes place on a weekly basis \u2014 the first programme of its kind in a Greek museum!<\/p>\n

From October 2026 to May 2027, every Wednesday afternoon, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., the Museum welcomes children aged 5\u201310. Each workshop features a different children’s book that has received recognition in Greece or abroad, along with a variety of drama and music games, arts and crafts, and screenings of films and presentations of artworks related to the themes and characters of the books.<\/p>\n

In a safe and welcoming environment, children will spend “Every Wednesday at the Museum, in the Company of a Book!” They will also have the opportunity to meet distinguished authors and illustrators, who will join us online from their own creative spaces \u2014 the very places where they bring their stories to life!<\/p>\n

Together, we will share our favourite ideas and stories, take part in exciting reading challenges, and enjoy creative writing and illustration activities!<\/p>\n

This year, a new section entitled “Young Journalists” will be added to the workshop programme.<\/span> Well-known journalists from Thessaloniki will visit the Museum to talk with the children and share the secrets of journalism, interviewing, article writing and creating television commercials. They will also introduce children to ways of identifying fake news!<\/p>\n

As in previous years, one workshop per month will take place outside the Museum, at another cultural or reading venue, such as an art gallery, bookshop, museum or concert hall. Our aim is to familiarise children with reading books in different everyday settings while developing their collaboration, communication and critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n

We look forward to welcoming you!<\/p>\n
