Sights State - Private Museums Child Awareness Museum

Child Awareness Museum “Stathmos”

Since its "birth", the PFF has had a particular, vested interest on the approach: "Child-Museum". It is the very first institution to materialize such a goal and has been influential in a way, in motivating other institutions across Greece to act the same.

In 1982, it assembled the first teaching community conference, with the aim to sensitizing and activating an educational program which would redefine the relationship between the child and the Museum, which were very successful. Thus, in cooperation with the Local Authority, the PFF managed to create a lifeline so to speak, through "Child Awareness Museum", in continuation of its approach.

After an extensive research on Child Museums across the European continent, the first museum for children was established, in 1989, under the theme: "Τhe child and the cycle of child age", from antiquity to our contemporary era, after the successful, seasonal exhibitions that had taken place in Nafplio and Athens, entitled: "Τhe child and the game". Primary aim was to put a new concept forward, to redefine the approach children have for museums, with its axis pointing to three directions: aesthetics, psychology and sociology.

Stathmos-Educational programs

Τα εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα του ΠΛΙ ξεκινούν την εφαρμογή τους το 1979 και απευθύνονται στα παιδιά της πόλης, σε σχολεία και οργανωμένες ομάδες απ' όλη την Ελλάδα.
Τα εκθέματα που φιλοξενούνται στις προθήκες των μουσείων είναι μαγικά, αλλά και σιωπηρά. Το εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα καλείται με τρόπο παιγνιώδη και ψυχαγωγικό, ενεργοποιώντας αισθήσεις και ενδιαφέροντα, να σπάσει αυτή τη σιωπή και παράλληλα να αντιπαρατεθεί, όσο του επιτρέπεται, στα μουσειακά στερεότυπα.

PFF's educational courses have been initiated since 1979 and address home students, schools and team groups from all over Greece. The exhibits on display are in a way magical but at the same time silent. The course's main aim is, through entertaining and game-play means arousing senses and interests, to break off the silence and to the extent that it can be made possible to counter-argue the stereotypical and lifeless concept that people and especially children have concerning museum sightseeing.

The educational basis for such a reverse follows: a) the theoretical, empirical method which can be accomplished via supervisory material (audio-visual material, museum-devices, and documents) and b) the child's self action.
