Museum suitcases

The museum suitcases are aimed at teaching history to 5th-6th graders, but they can also be used with other groups. The suitcases contain objects that can be touched and recycled in the classroom. This way, they bring history into the hands. The suitcase contains explanations of the objects and tasks related to them. The material also includes photographs. A double lesson is planned to go through the material.

LOAN PERIOD: 1 week, no loan fee is charged. The borrower will be responsible for transporting the suitcase from the museum.

Tip: If you want, you can borrow all three suitcases and have a school day in the old days with your class!

The project was implemented in collaboration with the Kankaanpää City Museum, the Education Department and Kankaanpää College. The project received Leader support from the Active Northern Satakunta Association.
