"The Life of the Invisible Fighters"
This is a program aimed at students ages 4-9.
- Where did the invisible fighters live?
- What did they wear?
- What were their medals like?
The program “The Life of the Invisible Fighters” provides answers to these and other questions that focus on specific sections concerning the daily life of the Edesseans at that time, but also on the daily life of the fighters. After being guided through the exhibition, the students take part in various hands-on activities in the museum’s spaces and stations, create their own threefold brochure and participate in a dramatization which includes being photographed as “invisible fighters!”.
The program’s design is based on various methods, techniques, approaches and environments, with particular emphasis on the principles of team-based, experiential and game-centered approaches.

"I Discover the Macedonian Struggle"
The educational programme aims to actively engage lower and upper secondary school pupils, offering them a unique experience! The programme was designed around their specific age needs, using New Technologies, escape rooms and Artificial Intelligence. In small groups, on tablets, pupils learn by trying to solve puzzles and answer quizzes. Using chatbots and avatars, they "talk with Kapetan Agras". In particular, the pupils discuss in groups the life and work of the Macedonian fighters and "talk" with avatars playing historical Macedonian fighters, asking them questions
The programme also encourages pupils to enjoy their time at the museum, taking their own photos at a specially designed Macedonian fighter stand.
