Educational community - Museo de Pontevedra
Educational community
The Museum is a privileged setting for the development of educational activities. The Education Department promotes dialogue and mediation with teachers, educators and students to develop new proposals that turn the museum into a space from which to generate cross-cutting participatory learning experiences.
The school programme aims to meet the needs of the educational community from Nursery to Baccalaureate levels, through a heterogeneous set of visiting modalities and activities that are adapted to the different educational levels. Through them we seek to bring the visitor closer to the Museum's collections, which is why the proposals are developed mainly in the field of Archaeology and Fine Arts. Castelao's work plays an important role in our school programme because of his close links with the Museum of Pontevedra and the importance of this figure for the history of Galicia.
The schools of the province of Pontevedra can apply for the transport aid programme ‘Get to know the museum!’, through which the Deputación de Pontevedra (Provincial Council of Pontevedra) finances one bus per school during the calendar year until the budget is exhausted. It is aimed at schools located in this province, from the second year of infant education to secondary education, including vocational education and training. Urban schools and those that have already received this aid during the current calendar year will be excluded. Click here for further information.
For children in Nursery Education who come to the Museum for the first time, we present educational proposals based on collaborative learning and experimentation. They will discover the Museum and its collections from a fun, participatory and creative perspective. The proposals combine workshops and short visits to a selection of unique works and they will enjoy a very rich space.
