I haven't participated in any of those days in museums and I haven't heard about them at all. However, I would very musch like to be part in one of them at least

I have never had the chance to experience any of these but I will be very happy if there is an opportunity to do so in the future.

I have not yet participated in such an activity, but I would also like to try with my pupils.

I've not yet taken part to such activities, but they sounds really interesting and I 'd like to participate in the future.

I've never heard about such events before.I find it very interestng. Many museums in my country organize Museum night. The Museum night is a very interesting and very popular event.

Unfortunately, I couldn't join my class in their "sleepover" field trip but they were so excited to be allowed to stay in the museum until its closure time. During that day (started in the early hours in the morning until nearly midnight), some activities were organised, starting from a guided tour with free museum exploration, and arriving to the possibility to touch all the artefacts in the digital displays and try to answer all the quizzes.

This kind of museum take over days is very new to me and have never known it is possible to participate at.
BUT I would be interested to join in the future

imen_taktak — 2018-04-03 14:20:54 UTC

Really, it's my fisrt time that I heard and I saw these innovative new methods to turn a static exhibit museum to interactive one. I love these relevant events. And I hope participate with my students to make them feeling more enjoyed while discovering tunisian museums.

Dragana, Croatia

dpavicicst — 2018-04-03 14:28:50 UTC

Eventhought I've never heard of this activity I think it' s great! As the lady in the video said this is a great opportunity for children! Children love to be in a role of a teacher and to teach. But here in Croatia it would take a lot of time and energy to explain to museum managers and teachers that children CAN do this!

Iro Alampei, Greece

ialampei — 2018-04-03 14:38:54 UTC

Take over days are mostly a UK trend. In Greece we started gradually to have sleep over events in some museums with sucess. Also the night tour guides are becoming popular.

Sílvia Raposeira, Portugal

silvia_raposeira — 2018-04-03 14:49:37 UTC

Unfortunately I haven't participated in a take-over day or a museum sleepover, but in Lisbon, in our Aquarium ("Oceanário") there is an activity called "Sleeping with the sharks". There are activities concerning oceans and ocean life preservation and then students have the chance to sleep near the aquarium.

David Giampetruzzi Italy

2018-04-03 14:51:46 UTC

I wish I could join a "sleepover" field trip: my pupils would be so excited to be allowed to stay in a museum until its closure time. We could organize activities such as a guided tour, museum exploration, getting to physically manipulate the artefacts.

Iro Alampei, Greece

ialampei — 2018-04-03 15:00:56 UTC

I would like to share the Green Cultural Routes project. In Greece, during a period of 3 days, Museums, Parks, Environmental Centres, Municipalities, Universities etc open their doors (free entrance) and do custom made educational programs tours and activities on a specific theme each year (linking however environment and heritage, such as TREE a symbol of life, SEA, POTTERY, etc. The event started on a small scale in 2012 but has gradually upscaled.

I copy the link (in greek language)

Ana, Portugal

2018-04-03 15:02:38 UTC

I have never done an activity like the ones mentioned above. However, I think they are great suggestions. These eally captivate students and will work really well with them. No doubt their knowledge will increase and it will be done in a long-term way because students are actively engaged in the activities. These will be experiences they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Mari, Finland

We have a programme called “Bag mystery” in a museum near to us. The idea is that there are five bags and students have to make a story about the person who owns the bags. They can find information from the museum. I have never done it with my students but once I was in training where they presented it to us. But I would love to do it with my students.

I've never participated in a museum take-over day or a museum sleepover. I'd like to, it would be very interesting, motivating and exciting for students.

Mari, Finland

2018-04-03 15:21:34 UTC

Museum sleepovers sounds great. I have not heard that we have it here but I could join this kind of activity.

Francesca, Rome

pacenca — 2018-04-03 15:27:00 UTC

I think it is a great experience.
I would like to divide the pupils in little groups and on the base of a virtual visit of the museum let them prepare the visit tour.

Maria Giannakopoulou, Greece

2018-04-03 15:33:43 UTC

Although i have been working as a Kindergarten Teacher for 10 years my students have never had the opportunity to do something like that. The idea of urging students to run the whole museum by making exhibits interactive is really fascinating and creative.

Hi, one of my children (daughter) has already participated in a sleep-over in Lisbon. She simply loved it!! As Sílvia Raposeira told you, in Lisbon, in our Aquarium ("Oceanário") there is an activity called "Sleeping with the sharks". There are activities concerning oceans and ocean life preservation and then children have the chance to sleep near the aquarium. I don't know of any school that has done this activity, because it's an over-nigth experience and it would be rather complicated with parents and school authorizations. The "take-over" days also seem to me a very interesting and suitable activity. I don't know any Museum with that approach in Portugal. Here is the link for the Lisbon Oceanarium sleep-over

mirjana_colnaric — 2018-04-03 16:13:31 UTC

In our town we have National Liberation Museum Maribor. It has practically all of the activities presented in this course, for example Museum take over, The night in the museum, Museum for peace...Unfortunately I did't particapte at such activities with my students yet. But I plan to do it. Actually we partiicipated at Museum for peace. Students took part in workshops. They have learnt how to solve problems creatively. Students were delighted. This museum organises a lot of different activities. I think it is the best museum in our town bacause they come near to our students and they like to visit it.
By listening to the name of the museum we think that this is the museum about liberation war: it is but it is much more.

Alexandra Fernandes, Portugal

2018-04-03 16:15:49 UTC

The opportunity for students to visit the museum and then explore it in order to present it to others is a very interesting idea. A few years ago I had a group of students who visited several museums and then was invited to organize a presentation / exhibition in the school on the theme: "What did we learn in the visit to the museum?". This presentation was made to other students of the school who did not have the opportunity to have the same experience.

I slept with my students at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid. It was a fantastic experience. Really magical that brings them closer to museums in a different way forever.

Catalonia Schools Tandem Project

Through this project we have had the feeling that the museum has been more like the village hallin some ways, a welcoming place where everyone, regardless of their culture and class, can feel welcome and represented because they can establish a personal bond with what is being exhibited.

elazou1981 — 2018-04-03 16:32:04 UTC

I have participated in crosscurricular projects involving visits to local museums where students have been engaged in a number of creative activities under the guidance of people working at the museum. The students had really enjoyed cretaive activities, such as drawings and

Patrícia, Spain

patrisape — 2018-04-03 17:00:21 UTC

I have never been in a take-over day, but I my science colleagues have gone some times to a museum sleepover with their primary education pupils. They go to the Oceoanografic, in Valencia, where they offer you the exciting activity of sleep with sharks:
Do you want to feel like a fish in water? Are you ready for close your eyes under the sharp teeth? Do you dare to sleep with sharks?

Get ready and enjoy the experience!

Ipermahia Christodoulou, Greece.

2018-04-03 17:42:36 UTC

I have never participated in a museum take-over day. My experience about museum projects is poor and common. Talking about the exhibition. The only difference I made was when me and the students tried to draw pictures and plant food as the prehistoric man did.

Nina, Ukraine

ninamandrovna2412 — 2018-04-03 17:51:39 UTC

I have heard but never participated in a museum take-over day. As for me, it's great. But not many museums offer visitors, aspecially pupills, such activities. I would like to try.

Paulo Dionisio, Portugal

paulo_dionisio — 2018-04-03 18:20:25 UTC

I have not yet participated in a museum take-over day or a museum sleepover. However, from my point of view, it is an excellent learning opportunity for students.
In Portugal, the Oeanarium has an activity called "Sleeping with the sharks".

Malamatenia, Greece

2018-04-03 18:52:42 UTC

I haven't heard of the take-over activity before, but earlier this year the Natural History Museum of my hometown organised the first sleepover activity. Also, every year on the last Friday of September the 'Researcher's Night' is organised in 300 European cities, including my hometown, Heraklion, Crete, Greece. I've been there with my own kids who've had the chance to get a hands-on experience and really enjoy learning about new things.

grushko_nat — 2018-04-03 19:59:06 UTC

I have not participated in such events yet. I dream about it. For students, this is a priceless experience and an opportunity to learn a lot of interesting things.

Đurđica, Croatia

2018-04-03 20:21:47 UTC

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to participate in similar activities because museums in our neighborhood do not provide such activities. They are certainly interesting and I think it would be a fuck to try something with the students.

Museums in Greece have started organising sleepover events some years now, such as Theocharakis Foundation in Athens, Moyseio Mikrasiatikoy Ellinismoy 'Filio Haidemenoy''...... I didn't have the chance to participate but my son participated in a sleepover for children 10-12 yrs in the latter museum above mentioned three years ago and it had been a unique experience. I haven't heard so far of school groups taking part in sleepovers though.

Other types of projects - Museums going to hospital schools

clara_cristino — 2018-04-03 21:42:21 UTC

On occasion of 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage, four hospital schools in the Lisbon area are developing a common project which significantly relies on liaisons with museums - Viver o Património. The teachers working at the hospital schools contacted several museums and briefly presented the project. Along this school year, staff from the educational services have come to the hospital and developed activities with a very special public who otherwise would probably not have the chance to go to the museum.
The common blog where activities are shared with the public is

I have not participated in activities like these, but I will do it soon.

Sleepovers is my favorite project! It has a lot of fun and children get seriously involved!

Natasa,Osijek

natasa_tram — 2018-04-03 22:10:41 UTC

It would be interesting for students to discover what is happening in the museum when the lights are turned off,when there are no people in the museum and the door is locked by morning.

vesnastankovic666 — 2018-04-04 07:03:08 UTC

Oh, these are wonderful I wish it would be possible to organize this here

Show your artwork in the museum

lichtblick — 2018-04-04 07:04:32 UTC

A guided tour gives you insight in the work of one single artist - style, colors materials... After that participants are asked to paint themselves a picture in the same style. Results are exhibited in the museum.

I once spent a night in a natural history museum taking pictures for a catalogue.

knjiznica_zlata — 2018-04-04 08:24:23 UTC

I ahve participated in the Nights of Museums, a manifestation in which you can visit a museum for free from 18,00 till 1,00 o'clock a.m. I took my family there and my kids loved playing in the museum and make create models of castles from cubes.
In my school. we encourage pupils to go there with their parents.

akougiou — 2018-04-04 08:56:55 UTC

I have participated some times in a dinner at a museum. It was really strange for me to learn about exhibits while having dinner in such an interesting places. A related to takeover day in a museum could be utilizing an escape room into the museum.

Laura F Resmini

laurafresmini — 2018-04-04 10:18:34 UTC

I've never partecipated in such activities as a teacher, but I searched something like that for my children in the past in the various museums near my town and I have learnt that there are a lot of similar activities: birthday's party, sleepover experiences, student guides on special openings, evening openings... My eldest daughter partecipated to a treasure hunt in a museum during an English summer camp in our town and she really enjoyed it. There are also prizes and contests organized by local museums using apps and smartphones.

tristanarandi — 2018-04-04 13:08:10 UTC

I am quite familiar with Teen Night events. On these evenings, a museum opens its doors to teenagers ( 13-18 yrs) for a variety of carefully orchestrated activities related to a theme. Months of planning are required to arrange the events, which often include visual art, music, food, and participatory activities. On June, 2016, Palazzo Grassi, Venice, hosted a Teen Night, an evening of free art and entertainment as Venice’s most prominent arts and cultural institutions swing open their doors. The central theme of this evening was inspired by the special exhibition “Accrochage” with a program designed to bring adolescents to contemporary art.

https://www.palazzograssi.it/it/eventi/tutti/teens-night/

Another inspiring example is represented by Teen Nights at Brooklyn Museum.

On February, 2018 they organized Teen Night: Basqui who? Basqui that? (+14), a free events inspired by Brooklyn-born artist and legend Jean-Michel Basquiat where teens could meet other teens from all over NYC,, experience live music and performances, see and create art and take part in discussions and workshops.

ramonaraducanro — 2018-04-04 14:02:01 UTC

I have never participated at this kind of activities, they are not usual in our city, but we can suggest /ask some local museums to help us to organize some take-over days and museum sleepovers.
We might spent some sleepovers in caves ... which are natural geological museums...

MARIA PAPADOPOULOY

mpapado66 — 2018-04-04 14:37:41 UTC

I have not been involved in such action, but such actions have been organized more and more frequently recently. Theater in the museum, reading, painting and more, the arts and literature are connected in the museum

Natalie, Malta

2018-04-04 15:32:55 UTC

I've never engaged in any take-over days or museum sleepover. It is not that easy in our country to create such activities since most of the museums are still sceptical about letting children engage in learning at museums, especially in this way. However, thankfully upon a lot of suggestions and proof, some museums are opening their doors for us educators to engage in museum learning and learning more mean making! I would surely use the links and ideas posted here as tangible proof of the amount of constructive learning that goes on when engaging children with learning in a museum.

Carmen Carella, Italy

carmencarella — 2018-04-04 16:20:35 UTC

I have never participated in a museum sleepover, but I’ve had the chance to visit a few museum in Britain where I noticed the accuracy they usually have in adding value to traditional visits by hiring people for performances dressed in stage costumes, or they may include fake talking statues like the one of Sir Winston Churchill delivering speeches. These small museums add a bonus because I’m sure both children and adults appreciate that and come for further visits.

As for Italy, where I’m from, I can recommend the Museo del Balì, where they organize “scientific daytime picnics” as field trips are usually planned in Spring. It is a way to involve people to come and inspire them with its multitude of hands-on scientific activities.

Elsa, Portugal

2018-04-04 16:52:43 UTC

I've never been involved in activities like "sleep over", but there a few museums that offer them ... I imagine they are interesting and very stimulating for students. I had never heard of the "take over " ativitiies and I loved the idea. I think it's a great way to involve students with the museum, with their own history and traditions.

Michela, Italy

2018-04-04 16:56:34 UTC

I've never had the chance to take part in a museum sleepover or museum take-over. I think it certainly is an awesome experience, feeling like you can look at whatever you want in the museum. Besides, you have scheduled activities the whole night.

Antonietta, Italy

miaaba — 2018-04-04 17:03:46 UTC

I have never had such an experience. I'd like to take part in a museum sleepover . I hope to to it in the future

pepy5 — 2018-04-04 18:38:47 UTC

I have never had chance to take part in a museum take-over or museum "sleep over". I think that is very interesting and very exciting for our students. I hope that I will have chance to participate on these activities ;)

rovena_trivan — 2018-04-04 18:52:02 UTC

Croatia
As my colleague Petra Kokeza I have never had the opportunity to take part in a take-over day or museum sleepover,but I find these ideas exciting. A take-over day gives students an excellent chance to learn something new about themselves while taking the role of a museum staff member and actively participating in ongoing activities. Museum sleepovers are super exciting and educational at the same time. I would like to take part in a take-over day

Paola Iorio, Italy

Serenella Silenzi Macerata Italy

s_silenzi — 2018-04-04 19:40:36 UTC

I have never participated in a museum sleepover, but my pupils and I have had some experiences with different museums: a lot of visits, projects and museum take-over days during the opening days of F.A.I. (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) in Spring. When we joined the initiatives of FAI pupils acted as guides in different museums and places of artistic interest on some specific days. They were very clever and visitors greatly appreciated them.

Concerning the projects I will focus on one in particular: A Garden for a Museum. My pupils designed and realized a garden for a museum (link to the project). It was a great experience for them!

Isabela, Romania

isabela_giorgi — 2018-04-04 20:03:18 UTC

Unfortunatelly, I haven't the chance to take part in a museum sleepovers but .....who knows? Maybe this ideea will be shared and spread all over the world and many museums consider this an opportunity to refresh their activity and we, as visitors, can bennefit on it. I look forward to happen.....

Irene -Italy

confalone — 2018-04-04 20:42:42 UTC

The sound is wonderful .It's really strange and new for me and my students but every new idea can be a growing opportunity to learn and discover the world.

Angela Capezzuto ITALY

angilu56 — 2018-04-04 22:06:38 UTC

Museum take-over days sound wonderful! I've had an analogous experience, although not equal because it wasn't a real museum. It's an old Palace in south Italy called "The Royal Estate of Carditello". Our older students are obliged by Italian law to engage in work learning experience, and so they made a tourist package to visit Carditello, planning activities, transport and voluntary student guides to take tourists around the estate and so promote this outstanding hisorical building. It was a wonderful and fulfilling experience.

These activities are really new and I think students and teachers could learn a lot from them. I am particularly fascinated by museum sleepover and I believe it could be a charming experience for students of any age

Laura from Transylvania

lapopei — 2018-04-05 10:10:07 UTC

Sleeping over is a very exciting activity for everybody. But it's not easy to implement. Specially in the museum where they have precious artifacts. Book making activity is a very easy approach, can be done anytime, no matter what.

Josephine Cachia, Gozo, Malta

josephine_cachia — 2018-04-05 11:22:21 UTC

Take-over days and Museum sleepover are completely a new concept to be introduced to the Museum Department. They have already moved a lot forward towards organizing and collaborating with Schools. Spaces have been identified in various Museums for the benefit of holding on-site/on visit activities related. I'm sure that such events thrill the students and attract them to follow specialized careers in Science and Research.
Summer 2014, I was given the opportunity to experience a placement as a Teacher during Summer School at Ggantija Temples where they have an Activity Room and ta' Kola Windmill nearby. It was a rewarding experience.

Ana Vega, Spain

nvgfra — 2018-04-05 14:01:45 UTC

I've never participated in such an experience but I find it very interesting.
Museums' responsibles should organize this kind of activities and offer them to the schools and families.

Edit, Hungary

tothedit0610 — 2018-04-05 14:20:51 UTC

I've never been involved in such activities either as a student or as a teacher. All projects seem exciting and fun to do as they involve learning through experiencing. The problem here is that there are strict rules in museums and the negative attitude towards innovations.

Maria Teresa Santinato, Italy

teri_lid — 2018-04-05 15:23:14 UTC

In my life I've never been involved in such interesting activities in a museum. I knew about the existence of these kind of museums' experiences but I never had the opportunity to get involved. It could be useful in every museum to offer similar opportunities.

Paola Manni, Italy-Germany

maestra_Paola_M — 2018-04-05 15:40:43 UTC

Unfortunately I have never involved in these new and interesting collaborative learning activities within a museum. I think the results are amazing!

Ana Cláudia Mano Soares, Portugal

2018-04-05 15:54:21 UTC

I've never participated in either of the mentioned activities. Besides the one already mentioned by Portuguese participants (Oceanário, Lisbon), I only know of similar projects in Portuguese libraries (for instance, "Harry Potter sleepover", to celebrate the 20-year-publishing anniversary). I do believe the take-over activity is empowering to students and I'd like to participate in such an experience.

Svetlana, Serbia

I think this is very interesting for students and for teachers too..

Daniel, Germany

2018-04-05 18:48:16 UTC

This could be very useful if applied right. I think the example given in the video was good, but could have been a little less chaotic with some more time prep. The students seemed to enjoy it.

Heidi

2018-04-05 18:48:21 UTC

Very interesting idea to get students involved in a very different way. I like this sort of interactive learning a lot.

Angela Metallinou, Athens/Greece

2018-04-05 21:06:33 UTC

Museum take - over days... What a brilliant ideas to let students interfere for a day in the museums life... That is the best way to make them love museums and rethink about what a museum can offer to us people... More exhiting a museum sleepover... in the last years quite a few museums organizise such kind of projects... It would be my priority in the next months...

Catarina, Portugal

canrodrigues — 2018-04-05 22:12:22 UTC

I've never been involved in such activities. All these projects are amazing because students are learning by experimenting and interact in a new way.

Ester, Ital

estergas89 — 2018-04-05 23:54:28 UTC

I’ve never participated to such activities and to tell the truth I didn’t even know about museum sleepovers. I’ve lived for some years of my childhood really very close to the important archeological site and museum of Paestum and I was used to live that places as places of exploration and game, so I fully understand how important the experiences we are talking about are. However, in the environment, where I live and work now, such experiences are difficult to organize. However, I would like to organize projects in which my students collaborate with the small local museums in the promotion of their cultural heritage or /and share and compare this heritage with students living in places where there are similar museums.

Dulce Freire, Portugal

dulcefreire74 — 2018-04-06 00:44:51 UTC

I've never been involved in this kind of activity. In fact, they were unknown until now. They seem to be successful activities, in which students enthusiastically participate, and there is no better way to learn. It is amazing the school / museum / community interaction. It is at this point that I am sad that there are no museums next to my school.

Although it is an exciting experience for both our students and us few museums organise such activities and most of them in big cities in my country. If our local museum organised sth like that we would be the first ones to take the chance of sleeping over!!

I have never experienced something similar befor but it seems engaging! I’d love the idea of inviting students to an overnight “expedition” of the museum. In accordance with the guide I’ll suggest it for my class first, but I am sure of its success. After I am going to involve visitors from schools who usually happen to stay in ours in Teramo because of a project or another.

Alessandra, Italy

Having never participated with the students on a day of taking over the museum or a slumber party in a museum, I can not share the experience. The classes of students who visited a museum were sometimes involved in laboratory activities proposed by museum curators. They have not always been interesting because they are designed for age-matched bands and not on the classroom teaching programs.

In my town, the museums tries to organize interactive visits for the children. I involve my pupils in a ready interesting museum's program but I have created visits from scratch for the Mucenae Museum and the Ancient Place of Epidauros. Because of an eTwinning project, my pupils had planned an event and had guided their parents to the Painting Exhibition at the Annex of the National of Greece . Of course we had the lisence and the cooperation of the Gallery's Director.

I have learn a few thing about take over days after watchinf this video.I also never heard of take over days.I think every students must visit museum in this day and they will enjiyed it.It is the completely differnt way of learning and seeing museum.Of course students can learn a lot from young teachers who will teach them in that day.Definitly I believe that it will work,it is the best way.

Anita, Croatia

anita_simac — 2018-04-07 09:52:21 UTC

Take overs would definitely motivate children and increase their learning and understanding. This is a wonderful idea that would take great organisation but it would be very beneficial.

Bojana

2018-04-07 09:58:21 UTC

Take over day would be very fun. In Serbia we don't have that. A few museums are being renovated. I hope that when done they will bring in that practice.

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.

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.
The examples shared are really inspiring and engaging for all involved, but always more relevant for the students themselves who earn by doing and in loco.
With my own children though, I usually celebrate International Museum Day (Friday 18th May, 2018) by taking them to an exhibition that often also includes musical performances.

Stefania Anzaldi Italy (Sicily)
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 !!!

I belong to the Association of Neapolitan Historical schools and we have been organizing take-over days for years.It is always a very impressive experience,students feel to be part of a community and are very proud of their work.They become responsible,creative and learn a lot of things(historical,scientific but also acquire entrepreneural competences)

I participated in a museum take-over day when my students improvised guides and ciceroni of the city and the "Museum of customs and traditions" in Scicli, (a museum very similar to the video), wearing and using clothes and objects similar to those used in Sicily 800 that had belonged to their ancestors. Very very interesting!

Immacolata R., Italy

immacrus — 2018-04-08 17:41:29 UTC

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).

I would like to learn how to eat, sleep, live and live individually.

I have never participated in a museum sleepover, but I would really like to have this opportunity both for the students and me. I think it would be a great experience, especially for pupils in my school.
Maybe we can try Bookmaking activity. It seems easy for my pupils.

I'm going to prticipate in the next one for sure. I'me pretty sure that it would be a great expierence for my students too. They always enjoy mystery and play so i believe that a treasure hunt or an escape room would be very intsresting for them too.

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.

Brendan Buttigieg, Malta, Gozo

brendan_bttg — 2018-04-09 19:49:06 UTC

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.

Natasa, Serbia

I've never been involved in any activity of this kind with my students, but I know there's a sleepover program at "Oceanário de Lisboa" intitled "Sleeping with the Sharks." On the day of the Museums there are also diversified activities in several museums, but from the experience I have, it is still not common practice in Portugal to do innovative activities that involve students in the exploration of museums. But we are evolving accordingly!

Maybe we can prepare some historical drama scenario and do a role-play.

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 ... :-)

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 1^st 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!

I never attended a sleeping museum, but I think it would be an exciting experience for both students and teachers. I often visited museums with my students.

Unfortunately, I have never had such an experience, as it is rather rare in museums in my country. Moreover, it is only offered in big museums and for a rather limited number of participants.

We have participated in a take-over museum project in the Ady Endre Museum in Oradea. The famous Hungarian writer is the name giver of our high-school and students imagined a day in the period of his life-time to make the museum come to life. It was an amazing experience!

In Italy each year museums organize the "National Day of Family at Museum"; it isn't actually a school related project but it is a very beatiful initiative to make children come and visit museums...perhaps it can be an opportunity also for some class activities in order to encourage participation.

My colleagues and I have often programmed workshop activities before, inside, during and after the visit to the museum. Our little one is part of our schooling. We have never designed a museum sleepover, children would definitely like it. In addition to the planned activity this year which includes at least three months, an interesting experience was the visit to the Balì museum

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.

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 happened to take part in special days dedicated to the opening to the public in an exceptional way of monuments and monumental sites unfortunately closed during the remaining part of the year. On that occasion I was able to appreciate the activity of students who dressed as "Cicero".

For 10 years I regularly take my students to museum visits and I am doing creative drama and visual work with them within my knowledge. Also I carry out projects including museum education on the eTwinning portal

I didn't have an experience like that. But, I've visited many museums in Turkey and Germany. I think "Technoseum" in Mannheim, Germany was the best for learning in a museum.

I attended some training days at the Coimbra science museum

Öğrencilerimin farklı bir şeyler görüp öğrenebileceklerini ve çalışıp paylaşabileceklerini düşünüyorum. Geçmişte insanların nasıl bir yaşam sürdüğünü öğreneceklerdir. Kullandıkları mal ve malzemeleri göreceklerdir. Bu yüzden harcamayı planlıyorum. Müzede öğrencilerimle bir gün.

These activities sound very interesting.

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.
