Educating the young generation is extremely important, because it will be their task to protect the industrial heritage in the future and for that is important to give them a full understanding about this heritage and to encourage them to participate in community actions to protect this heritage.
On each of the four Industrial Heritage days held during 2010, there were present 25-25 children from urban and rural schools of Cluj County.
The extra curricula teaching was interactive; the industrial history was revived with theatrical scenes played by children, with anecdotes, by using buildings, evoking professions and personalities of this subject. The trainers projected contemporary images, pictures and photos of industrial heritage. The children were asked to draw a building which was part of industrial heritage. Through this, the trainers had the possibility to verify whether the children fully understood the concept of industrial heritage through this new teaching medium; to evaluate their sensibility for the historical environment, for protection of industrial heritage and for participation in this type of event. The day was further enriched with a renaissance play and dance.
