The Museum invites its young friends to contribute, through this special activity, to the effort to protect and highlight the natural and cultural wealth of Lesvos, which has been designated a UNESCO World Geopark. Every idea is useful for this purpose and every idea can be expressed through the creation of a fanzine - amateur magazine!

School groups have the opportunity to participate in Multi-day Educational Programs, which include:

Special educational presentation by the Museum’s scientific staff related to the main thematic of the program

In the educational program ‘’Young Paleontologists’’, the children play the role of a Paleontologist and begin an excavation to find and identify parts of fossil plants.

The children are transported to the excavation site of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos along the road Kalloni – Sigri. Through a research route along the new road, they observe the works carried out at the construction site of the Petrified Forest, discover information about the conservation works and their results, identify and record the tools. At the same time, they identify and map the fossils, rocks, volcanic, tectonic and geomorphological structures, which they encounter.

In the educational program ‘’Climate change: I learn about its effects by observing the Petrified Forest of Lesvos’’, the children become researchers and are asked to look in both the present-day and fossilized ecosystem of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos for evidence of climate changes and take action for climate today.

In the educational program ‘’Geological time and Geohistorical evolution of the Aegean’’, the children are asked to find the solutions to the puzzle that Dr. Paleopoulos and Dr. Time, geologists-paleontologists, have sent them from the past, to study the fossils in the exhibition and gather information about the plants and animals that have lived in the Aegean for the last 23 million years.
