11th Panhellenic Conference for Science in Early Childhood Education 2020 University of Ioannina

The paper dealt with the preparation for the implementation of PALIMPSEST project and the decisive role played by the active participation of students from Ioannina’s schools. The presentation of the project and its theoretical background was followed by an overview of the specific actions and activities organized in collaboration with the interdisciplinary PALIMPSEST Team and the educational community. The aim of these actions was to involve children, and through them their elder relatives as well, in the process of creating a Museum, which transforms the conventional perception of the “Museum” and allows students to act not only as spectators or passive receivers but as activators and curators of this open urban Museum.
