ROOTS. Learn where you live

and publications. In doing so, it has always focused on various
topics of regional history (especially contemporary history), folklore,
landscape and art history. Even in the first few years after
its foundation, the Klostertal Museum Association was involved
with EU funding. In this context, several projects in the Leader
program and the Interreg program have been implemented since
the 2000 to 2006 funding period. We have also been involved
with the Erasmus+ program for several years.
In recent years, the Klostertal Museum Association has increased
its efforts to communicate the contents of the Klostertal Museum
to children and young people. The ROOTS project has provided a
lot of impetus for this. Workshop formats have been created for
children and young people of different age groups. These were
tested with school groups from the region as part of the project.
All workshops are led by expert guides and guarantee an exciting
and informative stay at the historic Thöny-Hof.
Offers for elementary school (6 to 10 years)
The offers for 1st to 4th grade consist of a guided tour of the Klostertal
Museum, which is adapted to the age of the pupils, and a
subsequent in-depth exploration of selected topics using various
stations and materials. The museum tour, which lasts around
30 minutes, focuses on stories about the historical objects and
how they were used. These stories are deepened using materials
that are also adapted to the school levels, with the focus on the
children‘s independent learning through discovery.
Offers for middle schools and lower secondary school (10 to 14
years)
For grades 5 to 8, the offers are staggered. All classes start with a
guided tour of the Klostertal Museum, with the content becoming
more in-depth towards the 8th grade. Following the guided tour,
the 5th and 6th grades have the opportunity to explore the content
of the permanent exhibition in greater depth in a workshop
