For the second consecutive year, the Neraida Floating Museum ‘travels’ to Primary Schools all over the country and brings students in creative contact with various aspects of Greek maritime and coastal shipping of the 20th century. The purpose of this year's activities is to entertain students in the safety of their classroom, and to provide them with a creative way to receive information and explore the ship, even remotely. The next step is a visit to the museum!
We invite you to register for the programmes and receive your own Educational Portfolio for a journey through space and time with the Neraida Floating Museum!
Educational Portfolios
Learn about the history of the passenger ship ‘Neraida’ and its conversion into a floating museum through a variety of digital and printed materials (videos, images, texts, activity cards, etc.). The educational material/content of the Educational Portfolios is sent to the teacher free of charge and is used in the classroom under the teacher’s guidance. The materials of the programme come with detailed instructions for recommended activities and games adapted to the needs of each age-group of students.
