Egyptian Museum for children

The Child’s Museum at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Sqaure, Cairo, held a recent workshop for school children on the restoration of artefacts and antiquities. Some 30 pupils aged 11 – 12 from an international school in Cairo participated in the workshop.
“Holding such workshops aims to extend the educational role of Egyptian museums to outside the museum proper. We organise them in coordination with schools whether public, private or international”, said Elham Salah, Head of the Museums Sector at the Antiquities Ministry.
Ms Salah said that the recent workshop served to teach children about modern technological methods used in the restoration of antiquities, gave them a briefing on the role of Egyptian restorers, and introduced them to the pieces of antiquity displayed in the museum.
Egyptian museums had begun organising workshops for children back in 2005; the workshops were held throughout the year but were especially intensified during the summer and midyear holidays. They were discontinued, however, in the wake of the Arab Spring uprising in January 2011. Now, according to Ms Salah, the activity has resumed.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
