The story elaborated the previous year about the exhibition 'Cities of Light. Ákra Leuké. Lucentum. Laqant' will be sold at the museum and the proceeds will go to research into childhood cancer through the ISABIAL Foundation.
The MARQ has launched this week the programme A Fairytale Hospital in the Hospital General Universitario Doctor Balmis. This initiative, now in its 19th year, aims to bring archaeology and history closer to long-stay children.
Once again this year, the MARQ Foundation in collaboration with the Paediatrics Service and the Pedagogical Unit Hospital and with the Institute for Health and Biomedical Research of Alicante, Isabial, has launched this initiative ".which offers a common work space for the benefit of the children admitted to the hospital to make their stay more pleasant."explained the deputy for culture, Juan de Dios Navarro.
The project is aimed at children under the age of between 4 and 14 years old and has the assistance of specialised teaching staff, as well as technical personnel and monitors of the Didactics Unit of the CV MARQ FoundationThis year, the course will develop different activities around the Middle Ages through talks, educational workshops, games, storytelling and dramatised visits. Since its implementation in 2011, nearly 400 children have participated in these workshops.
The Fundación CV MARQ has published a story about the latest temporary exhibition 'Cities of Light. Ákra Leuké. Lucentum. Laqant', which will be sold in the MARQ shop and whose profits will go to the childhood cancer research through the ISABIAL Foundation.
