In the Mikasa Geopark, the educational continuity from primary through early secondary levels has been carried out since 2005. In this educational project, there is a subject "Regional Studies", which learns about attributes of Mikasa (eg., history, nature, and industry).On the other hand, the Mikasa City Museum was established in 1979 to preserve materials of human, natural, and industrial histories of Mikasa. The curators of the museum have supported the subject "Regional Studies" as a museum activity since the first year (2005) of the educational project. Recently, the cooperation program between the educational and geopark activities is exploring.In the presentation, we introduce the cooperation among the educatioal, museum, and geopark acitivities, and discuss the results and subjects.
