online programmes for education

  •  

    The Acropolis Museum strengthens its social and educational role by expanding its activities to special groups of visitors. Starting with immigrants and refugees and students attending correctional education, as well as adding to students that ‘visit’ the Museum online.

    Especially designed programmes are addressed to people of different cultural backgrounds and experiences and encourage their familiarisation with Greek history and culture. Through some designated exhibits, participants learn about the Acropolis Rock and the great moments of its history, about art and the people who created it and they exchange views and experiences with the archaeologists that accompany them.

    Additionally, the Museum offers virtual tours to groups of students attending Correctional Facilities schools. Through an online walk in the galleries and the most important exhibits, participants gain new experiences, cultivate their knowledge as they exchange opinions and thoughts.

    Finally, the Museum created a new section in its website titled “The Museum at school” with online programme, in order to accommodate the needs of schools abroad and in remote areas in Greece. This section has also been enriched with digital applications that can be used in the classroom, making the lesson more engaging and interactive. In the same section, teachers can also find information about the Museum kits that continue to be available on loan for schools, but also the repository of educational material, from which they can draw information about the Acropolis and the Museum’s exhibits.

    All above programmes are offered free of charge. For more information, visit: https://www.theacropolismuseum.gr/en/special-groups  and https://www.theacropolismuseum.gr/en/museum-at-school
