SUMMARY:Canvas Bag Meets Vintage Flair
DESCRIPTION:How were traditional costumes made\, and what secrets are hidden within their vibrant colours\, intricate patterns\, and fine details? \n\nThe National Historical Museum invites the younger friends of the This is Athens City Festival 2026 to an interactive session that brings folk tradition to life creatively and delightfully. The journey begins with a guided exploration of the Museum’s Folk Collection\, where children will get up close to the richness of Greek attire\, discovering the materials\, techniques\, and sheer craftsmanship that went into every handmade piece. But the experience doesn’t end with looking. Transitioning from observation to creation\, and under the expert guidance of the museum curators\, children will try their hand at the traditional block printing technique to decorate their very own canvas tote bag. By the end of the session\, folk art is no longer just a museum exhibit\, but their personal masterpiece to carry home. This is a brilliant opportunity for children to connect history with imagination and discover the past through their own hands.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Butterfly Words
DESCRIPTION:Our young friends aged 6 to 12 are invited on a magical journey into the world of Greek Nobel Laureate Odysseas Elytis through the educational programme “Butterfly Words”. As part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026\, children will have the chance to get to know the work of one of the most significant poets in a fun and creative way\, using his very own words as building blocks.\n\nSymbols\, images\, and concepts from his earliest poems are transformed into an original linguistic game. Participants will deconstruct famous verses and experiment with their own original creations\, letting their imagination “fly” free.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
