Children will learn the history of the book design with examples of the Greek printing activity from the 15th to the 19th centuries. What is the design format of a book? What is an initial letter, a title page, a colophon, an acknowledgment? An educational program that will make us love again the printed book!

Educational visit*: After the completion of the first part of the educational program, participants will visit the oldest printing house in Athens and will have the opportunity to experience the art of typography. At the end of the workshop the children will take as a gift their name in metallic lettering!

*The bus transportation to the old printing house of Mr. Nikolaos Vozikis will be sponsored by the Onassis Foundation. Children should be accompanied by at least one parent.
