Course contents

The laboratory will explore the relationship between schools and museums in the design and implementation of educational activities within cultural heritage and local contexts, aimed at children attending pre-primary and primary schools.
Starting from the presentation of national and international case studies and best practices, students will be guided in designing educational pathways that bring children closer to art and cultural heritage through a participatory and inclusive approach.

According to the regulations, students who are unable to attend the first session are required to withdraw their registration (before the list closes) in order to: i) allow other students to take their place; ii) have the opportunity to register for another workshop (simultaneous registration in more than one workshop is not permitted).

Enrollment is allowed in only one workshop, with compulsory attendance. Absences are not permitted for workshops lasting 8 hours (1 CFU)
