CV MARQ Foundation will present a wide range of workshops, games, and animations designed for boys and girls up to 12 years old. These engaging activities will take place at both Exponadal and the museum during the Christmas season. Through the Didactics and Accessibility Unit, the centre aims to spark curiosity about archaeology and history, enriching MARQ’s year‑round education and training offerings across its sites and monuments. This effort is supported by the Alicante Provincial Council.

This year, the MARQ Didactics Unit will convene in Exonadal, within the Own area at the entrance of Pavilion 1, alongside the Alicante Fair Authority. The program runs from December 26 to 30 and then from January 2 to 4. Participants will discover how people lived in different ages, from Prehistory to the Modern Era, through hands‑on experiences and guided storytelling that bring the past to life.
