Culture starts at school- Program of the Ministry of Culture for young people

Applying the principle, that civilization begins from childhood and from the education that each person will receive is the program, drawn up by the Ministry of Culture.

Its aim is to strengthen and enrich the educational process as well as the training and aesthetic education of young people with material from the vast national, cultural reserve. Why, as she typically mentioned in her presentation at the ICOM Greek Working Group Conference – CZECH (ICOM International Council of Museums – Greek Department and Committee for Education and Cultural Action) the general secretary of Culture Mrs. Lina Mendoni "Can education and culture be interrelated concepts and that everyone considers, that they are governed by a relationship of mutual dependence, unfortunately, however, the theoretically self-evident is not necessarily identical with the practically given". After all, the country's shortcomings in this field are huge, so the actions really target the essence of the problem.

Here are the programs designed by the Museums Directorate, Exhibitions and Educational Programs of the General Secretariat of Culture, which are included in the Operational Program "Education and Lifelong Learning" of the National Strategic Reference Framework, 2007-2013. As mentioned by Mrs. Mendoni, the basic elements of the identity of the acts performed are summarized as follows:

 – "Updating and digitizing cultural educational material to enhance the educational process", which means the renewal of existing educational programs of the Regional and Special Regional Services of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, the design of new teaching tools based on modern concepts and specifications, the selection of encyclopedic and supervisory material, etc. a. In fact, all the material will be made available in digital format through a special online hub as well as optical discs, which will be sent to all schools in the territory.

 – "In the footsteps of the Bible: the history of writing and language in the Greek area", a program that aims to study and understand the genesis and evolution of language and writing over time.

 – "Design and production of pedagogical tools to highlight the importance of theater in ancient times and today" with the aim of consolidating knowledge and strengthening students' relationship with theater, this very special and unique creation of Greek culture.

 – "The theater as an institution of education and state education in antiquity and today". This action is linked to the previous one and aims at the design and implementation of an archaeological educational exhibition, as well as experiential workshops on ancient theater, its evolution and effect over time. The installation will include replicas of ancient artefacts related to theater and performances, such as musical instruments and mask molds, which will be combined and supplemented with special explanatory constructions and multimedia interactive applications and presentations.

 – "Design and production of educational tools for the modern urban environment and architectural heritage". The purpose is to offer cognitive tools and effective teaching methods, that will help students understand the built environment of the city they live in and examine their own possibilities of intervention to improve and enhance it

 – "City and cultural identity: Design and production of educational tools to highlight the cultural heritage of the eight Convergence Regions", which concerns the design and implementation of educational tools to strengthen the teaching of Primary and Secondary Education students in the Convergence Regions included in the Priority Axis 1 (Eastern Macedonia

– Thrace, Thessaly, Continent, Ionian Islands, Western Greece, Peloponnese, North Aegean, Crete).
