For the second consecutive year, the Neraida Floating Museum is "traveling" to primary schools across Greece, aiming to familiarise students with aspects ofwith aspects of
Greek international shipping and coastal shipping in the 20th century. This year's activities seek to entertain students in the safety of their classroom, and to provide them with a well-developed and creative way to visit and explore the ship, even remotely. What's the next step? A visit to the museum!
Join us for the following educational activities at the Neraida Floating Museum, embarking on an exciting journey through space and time!
Educational Portfolios
Learn about the history of the passenger ship “Neraida” and its conversion into a floating museum through rich printed and visual material (videos, images, activity cards, etc.). The Educational Portfolios are sent free of charge to primary school teachers upon application. They are designed to be used in the classroom under the teachers' guidance and come with detailed instructions on suggested activities and games, tailored to the needs of each student age group. The three available Educational Portfolios are:

The tutorial video with implementation instructions for teachers is available here.
