With regards to the new artistic tendencies of the region, contemporary artists could be invited who would set up exhibits of an interactive nature. These exhibits would encourage reflection on culture and the changes in attitude necessary for peaceful and harmonious development.

Educational Activities

Educational activities could take place in the area mentioned above, as well as in the building's auditorium and in the projection hall of the permanent exhibition.

The objectives of these educational activities will be to inform the public on historical issues related to the central ideas of the museum. Through various workshops visitors will be able to experience for themselves the benefits of dialogue, negotiation, collaboration and organized participation, and how to integrate these skills into everyday life.

The museum will develop exhibitions, workshops, conferences and extramural activities, disseminating its message to schools, to rural areas as well as to surrounding countries, in this way fulfilling its educational goals.
