The long-term interregional program “We live in Russia”, worked out for young people of the Kaliningrad region, included traditional excursions with interactive elements. It made tours of the Radonezh land and exhibitions presenting cultural traditions of central Russia attractive and unforgettable.

To solve the new tasks in 1999, the Department of the Museum Pedagogic was established. It was to insure co-operation with the education system. The Museum teachers, research workers and guides worked created educational programs for different age groups. Special excursion programs and classes with games and creative tasks for junior schoolchildren helped them to cope with the material. The Museum teachers worked out several special excursions: “At Brownie Proshka’s”, “We are Looking for Hidden Treasures”, “Miraculous Transformations”, “How Russian Children Came to the Trinity”, etc.

For junior children and their parents they organized the Sunday history and aesthetic club. It met for ten years. Its four-year program included classes at the exhibitions, studios and in the museums of Moscow and Moscow Region. The creative atmosphere helped children and parents to understand each other, to learn and to develop an aesthetic taste.

There were also educational programs: “The Best Town in the World” for the pupils of the 6th – 8th form, “Living Heritage” for the students, “Local History” for the teachers. “The Local History” program for the pupils of the 6th – 8th form developed into a district competition. It was organized in co-operation with the Education Department of Sergiev Posad. The final stage with gifts for all participants, held in the Museum, looked like an exciting event.
