MUVE EDUCATION
SCHOOLS IN THE MUSEUM PROGRAMME 2024-25

For the new 2024-25 school year, the Educational Activities Office of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia MUVE addresses its wide range of activities and moments of in-depth study – including in major temporary exhibitions – for the museums and/or for the classroom, to all schools of all levels – nursery school, primary school, high school, university and equivalent – and to their teaching staff.

For some time now, the museum space has offered a useful and versatile working tool for the world of education, establishing itself as a true ‘educational body’ in involving educators, teachers and children in the transmission and sharing of important values and themes thanks to special methodologies and approaches that aim also at inclusion and to respond to special needs.

This approach inspires the more than seventy educational proposals – including guided itineraries, workshops, classroom activities, virtual tours, toolkits, language school, special projects, and in-depth moments for teachers – drawn up and organised for all MUVE locations (both in Venice and Mestre) or in school, promptly updated for the new 2024-25 school year with new ideas and activities

Led by specialised museum educators, the activities are conceived maintaining an interdisciplinary approach and a direct thread with the current educational and didactic programmes, aiming at the full involvement of children through interaction and dialogue.

The 2024-25 programme has been developed in line with the goals of AGENDA 2030 for sustainable development.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

• Schools at the Museum

Educational activities carried out in the museum with specialised museum educators, enriched also with specific kits to continue the experience in the classroom or with proposals to learn/improve a foreign language (LS) through integrated learning of content and language, with the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology. They are subdivided into:

• guided tours: itineraries in the museum proposed with an interactive approach and materials that remain at the disposal of pupils and teachers in order to fix and integrate the lived experience in the classroom as well;
• workshops: experiments and manual activities to be carried out in the classroom or in a museum space, in order to learn about artistic, scientific and compositional techniques or peculiarities that are difficult to translate with theory alone. They usually include an initial preparatory part with a visit to the museum or exhibition.

• Language learning in a museum

The museums become tools for learning or improving a foreign Language (FL) by employing the CLIL method (Content and Language Integrated Learning), or by following an active approach to Italian culture and language (L2) for immigrant children. But in our opinion, integration goes beyond “just” the linguistic aspect: for this reason we have long studied, tested and prepared special projects in an intercultural key.

•  Special projects

Lessons in the museums, intercultural and study activities.

• For teachers

Special events, training courses, programme schedules delivered to schools
before the start of the school year, a presentation open day, and a help desk for designing personalised activities.

• Inclusion & special needs

Activities are structured to include all students, but can always be adapted to suit special needs through the availability of specific tools, such as translation
into sign language, tactile and multi-sensory materials and customising itineraries, supports and proposals. Do not hesitate to contact us at education@fmcvenezia so that, together, we can make all that we offer fully inclusive.
