We will describe several educational activities for kindergarten, primary and secondary schools connected with setting up proposal of Geography Museum at Sapienza University of Rome. The core of our proposal has been devised in three different sections, one of each concerning activities took place in occasion of the following public engagement events: the European Night of Geography, the European Year of Cultural Heritage and Eureka 2019, the scientific knowledge enhancement programme of Rome Municipality. This articulation will let us to present the evaluation of a sample of didactic laboratories devised and realized by Geography students (Degree and Master Degree). The results of this case study will be illustrated trough the data analysis of surveys performed by students highlighting the expertise gained.
