Educational program "Lithuanian ancient life"

The educational program "Lithuanian Ancient Life" is an invitation to step into the everyday life of ancient Lithuanians - to touch time-honored tools, feel their weight and hear a silent story about the life, values and relationship with nature of our ancestors. During the educational program "Lithuanian Ancient Life" you will discover how simple but ingenious household items - from a lye to a spinning wheel - testify to hard work, ingenuity and togetherness.

Here, you don't just watch, you experience: little hands will grind grain with millstones, turn a butter churn, try to spin, or name an old tool in Lithuanian. This is a lively encounter with authentic tools, on the surface of which traces of history still lie.

The program is intended for students in grades 1–4 – curious researchers who learn to know their nation's past through touch, play, and action. It is not only an hour of knowledge, but also a small journey that develops respect for tradition, enriches the treasury of the Lithuanian language, and awakens the joy of learning through experience.

This is more than education - it is a living lesson without a textbook, in which the past becomes within reach.

The price of the educational program for a group of children is 3 Eur.
1 adult accompanying a group of 10 children is free.
