The document discusses a history lesson presented by students in an exhibition format. It summarizes key points about using exhibitions and museums to enhance history education. The lesson focuses on Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece, who was important to the development of Nafplio. Students research Kapodistrias, observe exhibits, and create materials like games and digital exhibitions to showcase what they learned about his life and impact. Integrating cultural heritage and local history into the classroom in this experiential way helps students better understand the past.

2. The approach of the past creates the historical consciousness of people.
The consciousness is constructed academically by historians and popularly by
the public life of a population.
In our days, historical studies deal with not only the events, the figures, their
motives and their actions but they also search elements about daily life, habits
and the financial situation.
So, the progress of the civilization shapes and
is shaped by the developments in history.
Especially, the historical culture explains the relationship between past and
present and it is constructed by memories, feelings, cultural practices and
symbols.

4. The teaching of history –as it helps the knowledge of the past – includes the teaching of
the local history in an experiential way. Especially, it is suggested for all ages.
During the previous days, we presented you the key elements of our country and the
identity of our people: places, our flag, monuments, dances, costumes and musical
instruments. Basically all these are related to the public life.
You will discover the rest when we host you in Nafplio.
In history, some people influence the progress and form the culture of a state. So, it is
necessary to talk about them.
Today, we will talk about a unique historical figure: the 1st Governor of Greece, after the
foundation of the New Greek State, Ioannis Kapodistrias.

5. The short, live presentation of his life will be conducted by pupils in the exhibition, after a while.
I will say only this about him:
The knowledge about this person is included in a history lesson of the 6th grade of the Primary
school.
This important figure lived in our town and was murdered here so he is closely related to the
place.
Kapodistrias was a well-known politician and diplomat in Europe and Greece and he literally
organized the new born state of Greece.
He made decisions about the architecture of the city that gave our town a unique identity.
Since Kapodistrias was a person who influenced Greek life and culture, we decided to include
him in our presentation of Share Our Cultural Heritage project.
The knowledge of Local History is integrated into our curriculum so we combine the academic
knowledge with public life through an exhibition.
