The National Bank of Greece Historical Archives are opening their doors again this year to welcome students and teachers with five tried-and-true educational programs. All programs include interactive presentations, group work, and hands-on activities.

a. “Archives: Sources of Knowledge, Sources of Memory.”
b. “History of the Greek Banknote: A Journey, 1822–2002.”
c. “The Traces of the 1922 Refugees Through the Documents of the National Bank of Greece Historical Archive.”
d. “The Diomedes Building: An Architectural Landmark and a Modern Archive of Valuable Historical Material.”
e. School Career Guidance.
NEW EDUCATIONAL TOOL!
Museum Kit on the theme “Greek Banknotes: From Our Wallets to History”
This is the first museum kit designed for elementary and secondary school students, dedicated entirely to the history of Greek banknotes.
The educational materials (banners, educational folders, and a tabletop educational game) can be used in various combinations to support activities such as observation, group and individual historical inquiry, role-playing, discussion, and short presentations. The museum kit will be loaned free of charge to interested schools throughout the country and will be used in the classroom.
It will be picked up from the Historical Archives building, while for schools located far from Athens, it will be shipped free of charge.
Students will be given time to explore the materials at their own pace, so that they can generate meaningful questions and acquire knowledge in a playful way.
