The TOMATO project focuses on the development of innovative pedagogical approaches that promote creativity, cognitive development and motor skills. The key guiding principle of the project is that learning shouldn't be boring.Knowledge is presented through play and other fun activities, allowing children and adolescents to learn in an interactive and fun way, while deepening their understanding of natural and cultural heritage.

The TOMATO set was designed by combining the contents of the Štanjel Castle Museum and the Gnomes in the Karst experience in nature. It contains a physical set and a digital application, which together offer a wide range of educational and entertaining content: a board game, a digital application, a creative workshop and a booklet with a story about the Karst shepherd, the gnomes and the Karst treasure.

The TOMATO workshops created are accompanied by scavenger hunt events and educational programs for schools on Goblin Karst.
