EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

I hear and forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand

If you are a teacher and you:

• search for an interesting place in nature to organize an excursion
• search for a cultural sightseeing near your school
• prefer an open air museum
• like a warm welcome
• wish your kids to learn by acting and interacting

then you found the best traditional village museum to suggest to your students.

We have designed didactic educational programs for our young visitors who wish to learn more about the agricultural heritage of Cretan island. We use the latest museological and pedagogical techniques to approach the topics and create a fun and learning environment.

Schools and museums cooperate and the result is memorable, educational and recreational.

We welcome the school kids and we guarantee an unforgettable experience.

In our effort to preserve the customs of our ancestors and to promote them as directly as possible to our children, the Museum of Rural History & Folk Craft is a pioneer in the field of experiential activity and invites students to live unprecedented and exciting experiences. Learn about our annual, seasonal and theatrical programs.
