Exploration of the educational perspectives of the Kitsos Makris Folk Culture Centre – Planning and evaluation of educational programmes.

The project focused on the exploration of the educational perspectives of the K. Makris Folk Culture Centre, in Volos. In the context of contemporary Museology, Museum Education, Material Culture Theory and History Education, the enhancement of its educational role was studied by the use of new methods of approaching and interpreting museum objects and collections.  On this basis, prototype educational programmes for children of different age were planned, realised and evaluated.
