Who is it for?

This workshop is intended for professionals who plan and lead activities for children at heritage sites, as well as those who are interested in the subject.

Programme
The workshop will be very interactive, so dress comfortably and bring your inner child with you.
The programme will run from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 18:00 p.m. on both days. There will be a one-hour break for lunch.
 
Venue
We will be in Rogatec, near Slovenia’s biggest open-air museum. The workshop will take place both at the open-air museum and at Strmol Manor. We will also be surrounded by nature, so everyone will have direct access to the heritage “material”.
