About

Greektoys Children's Revolution ® is an educational project that aims to promote ancient Greek heritage through technology. Greektoys core team consists of Sofia Pavlaki and Luis Santos who love to introduce children to ancient civilizations. How do we achieve this? By using the ancient Greek toys as a “bridge” to make the connection from our days to the past days. Our idea was conceived in 2012, and since then the project is being implemented in Greece, Belgium and other European countries.

Some of our core activities are creating an animated series for children (“Greektoys”) with characters based on ancient toys, researching ancient Greek toys and games, developing a 3D-virtual museum of ancient Greek toys, and creating a 3D-model of the Kasta Tomb of Amphipolis. On top of these activities, we are organizing workshops for children in Brussels and other European capital cities, in order to achieve our goal. Frequently we are invited by schools and universities to present our work, our techniques and the technology we use. Our work is supported by museums and archaeologists, who grant us access to original artifacts and provide us with scientific documentation from an archaeological point of view.
