Competition for the Development of Museum Education Programmes
Health Literacy Centre – Children’s Museum
A significant project for Latvia’s future and public health is being developed under the auspices of the Pauls Stradiņš Medicine History Museum with the support of the European Union: Children’s Museum dedicated to promoting health literacy. Professional organisations, associations and companies specialising in the development of educational activities for children are invited to participate in an open competition and submit their vision for the development and implementation of museum education programmes for the Children’s Museum.
The aim of the future Children’s Museum is to foster an understanding among children aged 6–12 of life processes, health and the human body, while strengthening healthy habits and empathy-based social skills. The museum will feature an exhibition, laboratory and a range of museum education programmes specifically designed for primary school-aged children. These will provide opportunities to explore life processes and health as concepts that connect people and ecosystems, thereby promoting children’s health literacy.
The aim of the competition is to develop and implement nine museum education programmes: five programmes for school groups (including one self-guided programme within the exhibition), two programmes for mixed-age groups of children, and two programmes for families with children. The proposed programmes must connect themes of the Children’s Museum exhibition with age-appropriate learning objectives, methods and skills to be acquired, while ensuring that children are actively involved in the process as co-creators.
Following the evaluation of the submitted proposals and a negotiation procedure, a contract will be concluded with the successful bidder for the development of the Children’s Museum’s museum education programmes.
The estimated contract value is up to EUR 104,000 (excluding VAT).
Proposals must be submitted by 13:00 on XX October 2026. The competition regulations and their annexes are available EIS.
The project “Health Literacy Centre for Children – Children’s Museum” is co-financed by the European Union (ESF+ project No. 4.1.2.1/1/24/I/002).
