Digital Educational Programmes
Cultural educational programmes are among our favorite activities. They give us the opportunity to tell stories, to play, to create, and most importantly, to engage with audiences of all ages. Recognising that not all children have the opportunity to visit a museum or cultural site in person, we sought ways to bring culture to them.
From this need, a new collaboration with Museotek was born. It is an innovative digital platform and application that allows students to remotely and in real time explore museums and cultural spaces across the country.
A New Service
Our contribution focuses on the design and implementation of digital educational programmes for cultural institutions. These are specially designed remote learning experiences, tailored to the online environment of Museotek. The design principles we apply to digital cultural and educational programmes, combine storytelling, interactivity, and participation, enhanced with multimedia content.
As a result of this collaboration, four programmes have been created!
The Locked Book – Music Library “Lilian Voudouri”
A hermetically sealed book has caused quite a stir. We discovered it on the shelves of the Music Library “Lilian Voudouri” of the Friends of Music Society, and we are looking for the team that will solve the mystery. Following the clues hidden inside the library, we will try to give answers and unlock the book along with all the secrets it hides.
Are you ready to solve the case?
The educational programme combines the mystery, play, and the magic of music and dance. Students will look for musical clues and solve puzzles to uncover the messages of famous stories and musical compositions.

A Christmas Music Mystery – Music Library “Lilian Voudouri”
Something unexpected happened at the Music Library “Lilian Voudouri” at the Athens Concert Hall! On the shelves, between books, behind musical instruments, all over the place, walnuts appeared. We clean everything up, but the next day they are everywhere again. How peculiar is that? Will we ever discover the answer to this… Christmas Music Mystery?
This educational programme is implemented during the last weeks of each year.

Strofades: An unknown treasure in the middle of nowhere – Robert McCabe & Katerina Lymperopoulou
The educational programme entitled “Strofades: An unknown treasure in the middle of nowhere” has as its central theme the small complex of islands of the Ionian Sea, Strofades. Strofades’ microcosm has a lot to teach us. During the programme, we will discover an ancient myth; the impressive castle-monastery and its fascinating history with Byzantine emperors; an important monastic community, with wild pirates; the imposing lighthouse; one of the most seismic areas in Europe; and a place with great environmental and ecological value.
This programme is based on the book, awarded by the Academy of Athens (2020), “The Last Monk of Strofades” and the exhibition of the same name that took place in 2020 at the Benaki Museum.
