At the 4th Symposium 25 speakers participated giving 20 reports. They represented one public library, the National Technical University of Athens and 18 schools, of which 13 were public and five private. Of the private schools two were International and two Special. Six were primary schools and 12 secondary. Three papers came from the provinces, from Perahora, Serres and the island of Chios.

The meeting commenced with three projects which were part of a European program about World Cultural and Monumental Heritage, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the Paedagogical Institute, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and the International Council of Museums and of sites (ICOMOS).
Each of the three schools studied a separate monument, the Parthenon (Malafouris I., United Interdisciplinary High School of New Philadelphia, 1st grade), the Erechtheion (Papachristou D., 4th Middle School of Peristeri, 2nd grade) and the sanctuary of Athena Nike (Adamidou M., 68th Middle School of Athens, 2nd and 3rd grade).

There then followed the presentation “The school adopts the Philopappos Monument” (Kechagia L., 9th Middle School of Kallithea, 2nd grade), which came to be a part of “The Pegasus Program”, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and ICOM.

Of the following two programs the first formed part of an Art class (Zafeiropoulou L., Campion School, 3rd grade Middle School), in which each child imagined and designed his / her own “Contemporary Athena”. The second (Black L., Campion School, 2nd grade High School) was a product of Industrial Design and Technology class, in which the trireme depicted in the Lenormant relief was transformed into a children’s playground.

Next was presented a project ( Professor Filippidis D., National Technical University of Athens) by architecture students, who after studying our museum kits created their own, adapted for the purposes of better understanding of the city. In the process they recorded valuable information about its past and present, while at the same time conveying their own opinions on the subject.

Again with the help of the museum kits, special local history programs took place in Perahora and on the island of Chios.
In Perahora (Apostolidi H., Elementary School of Perahora, 6th grade) the students organized an archaeological meeting at their school, in which the older participants from the 5th and 6th grades presented the museum kits to the younger participants from the 3rd and 4th grades, along with lots of games that were inspired by the kits.

On the island of Chios (Vasilaki P., V. Iliopoulos, I. M. Panagiotopoulos School & Municipality of Chios) the museum kits helped the students in their “search for the Homerids”. With guidance from two children living in the archaic period on Chios and whose family had a tradition of Homerid rhapsodists, the students got to know the place where the “School of Homerids” operated, as well as the daily life and education of children of that time, thus getting an acquaintance with the Homeric epics.

The next talk (Mandala A., High School of Vrontados on the island of Chios, 1st grade) also brought us to the island of Chios, from where we heard about the experiences of the students of Vrontados High School one year after their first contact with the educational resources from the Acropolis.

In Serres the programs took place in the local library (Kokkinaki A., Public Central Library of Serres), where, with the help of the museum kits and literature an itinerary to Greek antiquities was put together.

The next two papers came from Special schools. The first talk (Tsinkri- Tsoumpeli D., Special Middle and High School of deaf children in Argyroupolis, 2nd grade) presented a book about visiting the Acropolis geared towards students with hearing problems.
The second talk ((Drosinou M., Aigaleo Special School for Retarded Children and Special Grades of the area of the Academy of Plato and Kolonos Hill) described how a visit to the Acropolis by students with learning difficulties was organized, - the preparation in class beforehand, the visit itself and the results thereof.

The subject of the next report (Kalerante E., 4th Elementary School of Zefirio) was the experience of young first graders with the magical world of the Acropolis monuments starting with a tale introducing the historical facts of the period. This was followed by reenactments and group play and ended with the use of the museum kits, thus completing the children’s images of the monuments.
