Saturday, May 11, 2024 Playing with the senses...

Taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing. Nothing can reach the mind without first passing through the senses! They allow us to perceive images, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. We recognize and discover them one by one, all five, by playing!


Saturday, May 18, 2024 Traces, Stone, Clay, Fire… all inside the prehistoric cave.

Two people from the prehistoric era open their cave and welcome us around the fire. By following traces, we will learn some of their secrets. How did they live? What did they eat? Materials like stone and clay will help us discover their daily life.

You can thematically combine the educational program with the movie "The Alien and the Cave Children - Journey to the Light!", which is shown in the Tholos, the hemispherical Virtual Reality theater of The «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre. An educational journey through time and space that will entertain children as they discover the science of light, energy, and the solar system. A film for the whole family that, thanks to the technology of the Tholos, offers an exciting experience for both young and old!
