I have never had such experience in a museum. Our students only presented and showed guests around the school. Besides, we had take-over days at school (studetns acted as school stuff) and also had real-life journalistic investigation in the street of anothe city. Both were very exciting events. So must be the activities in a museum. They are very inspiring and fostering autonomy and communication. We only need to think over organiztion properly to make it a successful and positive experience.

Hello! As a physics teacher, I participated every year, with my students, in the action carried out at the University of Craiova, which is a traditional partner of the Researchers' Night!

I participated in physics, mechanics and chemistry experiments, in demonstrations with carbonic ice and lasers.

In these days visiting the Basilica di San Clemente I met a dutch group of Gymnaseum students. Two students where guiding the group in a very orginal way so I stopped looking and listening. It was great, I even needed to seek for the teacher among the students. I asked what they where doing. So the told me that during their trip in Rome each time two students should prepare a 40min talk concentrating on symbolism and iconografism for the group. Everyone was highly involved and it was great to see that it works.

I never had the opportunity to participate in a take-over Museum event and other projects of the sort. In fact, I’m not aware of any initiatives like this being common, or occurring in Portugal! “Museum Sleepovers” however are becoming more frequent, whether in public or School libraries, especially for a younger audience, or in more emblematic spaces, like the “Oceanário” in Lisbon (“Sleeping with the sharks” event). In spite being a very interesting activity, this event is still inaccessible to most Portuguese families due to the costs it would imply.

Pre-school and 1st grade students have been participating on “Pyjama Day”, in a different context from what they are used to: on a scheduled date, the children go to school wearing their pyjamas and have a sleepover at the Municipal Library.

In conclusion, I think it is a different and appealing way to captivate and incentive children to develop a passion for reading and for knowledge in general!

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately I have never participated to this kind of activities in a museum, but after all these materials studied here, from these, to others.... I am sure I want to do this with my students, especially because they have rarely the possibility to visit a museum, and I wish for them an unforgettable experience.

with pupils - not yet. I'm familiar with sleep-overs or even take-overs from kindergarten and school projects (reading nights etc.), but in my region I haven't seen a similar activity in a museum yet. As an adult I participated in a 3-days-workshop in an open-air museum, which was situated in a remote valley. All participants slept in tents, working on historic crafts projects during the day. To be honest - I don't think that's an activity for all children, because it was actually really creepy during the night. The goats scared the hell out of everybody ... :-)

I participated in a museum sort of "take-over" where the students had to visit the Palace Armoury, capture photos and sketch different patterns.Then they had to use the patterns to decorate part of the fake Armour drawn on a cardboard at the end of the visit. Then they assisted the coordinators to display their work in the same Museum. I am aware that the above mentioned activity was not fully taken over by the students, they just participate in it.  I think that the Nature Museum would be quite inspiring as students love animals and I am sure that the student's will enjoy themselves.

Museum Night (Croatian: Noć muzeja) is an annual event in Croatia. During one night in the year (usually on the last Friday in January), the entrance fee to most of the museums in Croatia is waived. Museum Night was first held in December 2005, with only six museums from Zagreb area participating, drawing 10,000 visitors. The event evolved to include museums in the rest of Croatia in the following years, with over 200 museums participating. In 2014, there were 360,000 museum-goers during the Museum Night, with 800 performances held.

The Croatian Museum Association is organizing another Museum Night this January, Friday 26th. The first Museum Night was organized back in 2015, and it became a popular national manifestation that includes numerous cities and museums.

The Museum Night is organized the last Friday in January from 6 pm until 1 am, with free entrance to museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions. The program is filled with exhibitions, lectures, workshops, promotions, concerts and other performances.

In light of recent sports events that took place in Zagreb, this - 2018's Museum Night will be organized under motto 'Museums & Sport'. The emphasis is on the existing and the creation of new sports collections and to recognize and create sensitivity to its cultural value. Sports heritage is not adequately represented and this event aims to further stimulate discussions on the issues of sports collections and museums in Croatia.

In Italy, only recently didactic paths focused on museum have appeared opening to an "inclusive" approach for the people, so it is difficult to participate to educational experiences of this kind.

As a mere visitor, it was pleasant to enjoy a path that guided the exploration of a "Museum of Monastic Arts", in a small town in central Italy.

As for my school, an institute of higher education, students of the tourist course are often used by some non-profit cultural associations as a tour guide during some events of the city (for example: Carnival).

the collaboration between schools included in a network ... and the same collaboration on several levels (starting from small groups inside a class to get to macrogroups of people belonging to different schools) surely, thanks to this course, I understood to be very useful to motivate the students and to make this activity really like a moment of learning at 360 degrees. the exchange of ideas and participation in the first person are key points for a voluntary approach to self-construction
knowledge. Recreating an archaeological site or a museum is absolutely engaging activity !!!

Sadly, I have never participated in museum take-over days or sleepover. I have once tried to organise a sleepover in the school library, but I'm not even a teacher librarian and the obstacles that came up were so many that I eventually gave up the idea.

For me, the activities seen in videos and in-depth documents are new and beautiful and currently not reproducible. In addition to the structural problems of the in-house network, which can be overcome with a network of people (schools, communities, families), the collaboration of the network of people is lacking the fundamental thing. There are many reasons and there would be some roads to try to start thinking together. This would have costs, not just money, at the beginning but - from my point of view - brings many gains: skills, knowledge and appreciation of what you learn, sharing, promotion of territory and schools. I am convinced that a network needs a minimum core, alone it can not. I am also convinced that a minimum core needs a minimum interlocutor to build a first connection. At the moment my research is on this level: the first effective and operational connection. In the meantime I enrich myself, for example thanks to the ideas and possibilities that I learned from the materials of the modules, they can be implemented through collaboration.
