Travelling museum is a project based on museums. The partner schools cooperate
in order to make a series of collaborative activities and travel kits with museum
objects made by students. The students will create an authentic material based on
their research on museums, history and geography. The briefcases will travel
around the countries. A museum school net will be created for future use.
