Since its inception, Peripatos has placed a strong emphasis on the design of museum and cultural educational programmes. In addition to the programmes specially designed for museums and other cultural organisations, covering the needs of each institution and target group, we undertake the design of educational programmes for school groups.

We design our programs based on 3 methodological axes: experiential approach, in-situ knowledge application, collaboration and interaction. With these contemporary pedagogical approaches we provide a comprehensive learning experience through which children develop their skills, express themselves spontaneously and discover cultures, arts and stories.

The aim of the programme The secret recipes of Goddess Demetra, beyond the discovery of the magical world of nature that surrounds us, is to inform students about nutrition and raise environmental awareness. In order to achieve this, a set of activities has been designed which, through play and creative expression, capture children’s interest and keep them involved. Programme’s activities are based on the principles of constructive learning by creatively combining play, movement and education.
