NAVS Educational Programme

The trireme and the battle of Salamis in the 21st century!

A special programme for schools featuring VR experiences and more…

 

The NAVS Project invites its young friends to a spectacular visit to the battle of Salamis and the ancient trireme and promises to deliver a unique VR experience that will help them see history from a fresh perspective.

This programme aims to offer pupils the chance to see history from a fresh perspective. Starting from the trireme, the most powerful warship of ancient times, the tour will guide students through ancient Athens, the Persian Wars, and the Battle of Salamis. It will also prompt them to reflect on the nature of history: how we know what we know about the past?

New technologies and simple activities stimulate students’ curiosity, ingenuity and creativity. Pupils can use our VR equipment* to go on a trireme walkthrough and watch some snapshots of the battle of Salamis up close. The session also includes games (touch screen), hands-on tasks (handling of model, blackboard chalk drawing) and solving puzzles (arithmetic calculations for oars and rowers). The content is developed according to experiential learning principles.
