A characteristic example of the programme’s implementation was the participation in the innovative Open Schools initiative by the Municipality of Athens, exclusively funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. School buildings were transformed into neighborhood meeting points and hosted cultural, educational and recreational activities. Within this framework, “Born to be Archaeologist” offered pupils, from 25 schools across the city, a hands-on excavation and creation experience, through 2-hours sessions that sparked children’s imagination and curiosity.
