The National Museum of Archeology has created a project called Archaeological Clubs Network in Schools. This project makes the connection between the museum and schools promoting the importance of archaeology and archaeological heritage.
It is a way to make the museum more participatory since the project is developed at the Museum, in Schools and on the Internet. Through an online platform all Schools and the Museum can share and use educational resources. Schools can also show their activities.
This project continues to grow, with more and more schools to join … participating in the museum, learning from the museum’s objects of the museum and protect the heritage.~
