The Museum invites its young friends to contribute, through this special activity, to the effort to protect and highlight the natural and cultural wealth of Lesvos, which has been designated a UNESCO World Geopark. Every idea is useful for this purpose and every idea can be expressed through the creation of a fanzine - amateur magazine!
