Educations

For the period of Great Lent. The host and the hostess will tell you about Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter customs. The participants of the education enjoy the joyful part of this period the most – dances, games, egg painting, “expelling of the herring”, and fortune-telling. And if they’re lucky, they’ll also find gifts hidden by the Easter Lady…

You will be greeted by the hostess and invited to her smoky house, where the secret teacher will be waiting. You will become the students of the secret school of the 19th century: you will read prohibitted Lithuanian books, write with goose quills on tablets, and bound notebooks. You will have to be very careful – at any moment an angry gendarme can burst in and chase everyone away. Perhaps you will be able to trick the gendarme and save the Lithuanian books and your notebooks. Or maybe the gendarme won’t come today?

We use soap every day, but we don’t think about how it came about, how our grandparents or great-grandparents washed, and what is its composition. Lecturers “laundry ladies” will tell the story of the origin of soap, present the methods of soap production, introduce washing tools and their use. You will hear about the tools and you will wash in wooden troughs with metal and wooden grates yourself. After getting acquainted with the washing tools, we will invite you to a creative workshop, where you will make soap of custom aroma, shape, and color!

The Laboratory For the Curious combines history, natural sciences, and chemical experiments into one whole. During the education, students will experiment independently: they will observe various chemical reactions, explain the physical properties of objects, become familiar with concepts, and learn various historical facts. It will be possible to try out magnets of various sizes and shapes, create rain in a glass, make a volcano or even snow. Before conducting the experiments, students will be introduced to the safety rules and will wear protective clothing.

For the period of Advent. After welcoming the education participants, the host will show farm implements in the light of kerosene lamps and tell about autumn chores. After that, the hostess will invite everyone to eat, and teach them about small jobs: feather plucking, thread spinning, wool picking. While setting the Christmas table, she will tell about the Christmas dinner and customs and teach fortune telling. Finally, the Saint Christmas will come and bring his teddy bear. Later, everyone will play and sing together until the Saint Christmas opens his bag and merrily gives gifts with together with his teddy…

The children get to know the structure of the hive, examine beekeeping tools, learn about bee products. Later, they watch a video about catching a swarm and perform interesting tasks themselves.
