ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AND TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF FROM CULTURAL SECTOR

We have initiated innovative interdisciplinary educational programs that assist in developing most important competences in the 21st century: creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence, which significantly contributes to formal education.

Together with the Reykjavík Art Museum and the Museum of Everyday Life in Iceland, we will make sure that the best educational practices of both countries reach the regions of Lithuania.

 

FAMILY SATURDAY

In collaboration with children theatre “Pradzia” (The Beginning), the MO Museum has conducted a programme for families with children aged 3–8, which quickly reveals the ideas of the exhibition “Celebrate for Change” in a playful and engaging way as we as helps to enhance family relationships and rediscover each other.

Founded in 1973, the Reykjavik Art Museum is the largest art institution in Iceland. Their art collection contains more than 17,000 works. In the departments of the museum various exhibitions of modern and contemporary art are displayed, they conduct educational activities for children and young people of all ages, organize various art events and festivals. The museum aims at spreading a diverse and dynamic conception of art while using historical, social and cultural contexts in an attractive way, also exhibiting both local and foreign art in their events.

The Museum of Everyday Life – an interactive non-traditional museum located in the western capital of Iceland, Isafjordur, offers their visitors to experience the daily life of the locals. This museum was founded in 2016 by Vaida Bražiūnaitė and Björg Sveinbjörnsdóttir. Here, everyday life is understood as dark matter, as everything that happens inbetween important life events – nostalgic and humorous stories we share when we meet up for a cup of tea or personal events hidden under a lock of a diary.
