The Handicraft-Industrial Educational Museum is a non-profit educational

and cultural organization based inside the grounds of the Technological and

Cultural Park of Lavrion. The Museum was founded with the strong support of

the Municipality of Lavrion in conjunction with the Technological and

Cultural Park and in collaboration with the other museums in the area.

The objective of the Handicraft-Industrial Educational Museum is to collect,

preserve, research and exhibit materials, for educational purposes, which relate

to the handicraft and industrial past of the region and also by extension to the

technological, economic, social and cultural history of Greece.

The Handicraft-Industrial Educational Museum utilizes contemporary, recognized

educational theories and offers multifaceted educational experiences and recreation

for children, adolescents, young people, teachers and families.

The Handicraft-Industrial Educational Museum is, in effect, a "living workshop"

linking the many dispersed historical landmarks found in the Lavrion region.

This networking, in itself, constitutes a landmark in the Museum's educational journey.

          EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN LAVRION MUSEUMS
        FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL GROUPS

One of the primary activities of the Museum is the educational programs for school groups.

These educational programs are created specifically around the abilities and special needs

of the target groups attending and take into consideration the unique qualities

and/or restrictions of the space where the program is held.

The Educational Programs aim:

· To familiarize young people with museum spaces and the cultural, historical, industrial

and technological heritage of Greece.

· To create a pleasant experience from a visit to the museum by considering the special

needs and particular abilities of the visitors.

· To promote the development of observation, research and comprehension skills in children

using the objects, both man-made and natural, that form the exhibits.

· To give children a chance to discover their own ways of relating to exhibit materials as

a basis for future, independent visits to the museum and, in general, for improving

their observation skills.

· To sensitize teachers to the use of museums as learning centers and engage

their active participation in the educational methods used.
