The Neraida Floating Museum invites students from Greek primary schools to embark on an exciting journey through time through three different educational activities:
1. Educational Programme: “Travelling with the Neraida: A game on board” (on-sight)
What is the story of the "Neraida"? To which parts of Greece did her passengers travel? What stories do her objects and crew hide? How has she managed to stay afloat to this day?
With the support of educational materials and the guidance of qualified museum educators, students explore the passenger ship Neraida and uncover its fascinating history. The programme takes place every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 09:30 and 11:00, on the Museum’s premises, by prior registration. Admission to the Museum, as well as participation in the educational program, is free of charge.
2. Educational Portfolios (remote)
The Educational Portfolios include a variety of visual and educational materials (videos, images, texts, activity cards, etc.), accompanied by detailed guidelines for primary school teachers with suggested activities that can be implemented in the classroom. They are sent free of charge throughout Greece upon application.

3. Interactive Online Guided Tours (remote)
Connect live with the Neraida Floating Museum, take a virtual tour of its spaces, discover old and new exhibits, learn their stories, search for crew members, and—depending on the age group—participate in distance-learning activities related to travel and the sea, ships and navigation, communication and transport, people and memories.
The Interactive Online Guided Tours are offered free of charge from Tuesday to Thursday, 09:00-13:00, via online platforms (Webex, Zoom, Skype, etc.), upon registration. Each session lasts approximately one (1) school hour and is open to all schools across Greece.
Last year, over 6,800 students from all over Greece participated in the Museum's on-sight and remote activities!
Participation in all educational activities is free of charge. We look forward to welcoming you!
