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.
