Educational Project

Catálogo Didáctica MhV 2016-17

Education is one of the most important elements of a museum, essential to developing future leaders that help our society progress.

Educating is more than transferring knowledge, such as shaping values, building social skills, and fostering intellectual curiosities. The museum's informal and relaxed environment is the ideal place to foster growth.

Our commitment to teaching is reflected throughout the Museum of Valencian History (MvH), from the design and layout of permanent exhibits to temporary exhibits and events. All these factors play a role in presenting a coherent and thought-provoking experiences for both children and adults.

The MvH’s educational events include:

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM: Aimed towards young learners for the 2016-2017 academic year.

LEISURE ACTIVITIES: The MvH hosts activities that are diverse and appeal to all ages, changinging throughout the year, both in content and schedule.

Year-long Educational Program

MvH’s educational program has activities scheduled throughout the year. It takes advantage of the museum’s educational exhibits, supplements them with activities that reinforce ideas learned in the classroom, and introduces other aspects of education (creativity, notions of the past, social relations, etc.).

The program includes a wide range of events and activities that fit well with formal education, such as the following:

- guided tours: teaching academic content customized for different age levels

- dynamic exhibits: discovering history in an active, playful, and participatory ways

- workshops: complementing the above with hands-on experience

In addition, we have adapted these visits for the Center for Special Education of Valencia and the Preference Integration Center of Valencia. These activities can be carried out in different languages other than Spanish and Valencian, such as English, French, etc

All the events and activities of this educational program can be adapted to different educational levels or to the interests of particular groups.

LEGACIES

Every city and every country have experienced historical evolution over time. Each new civilization leaves remnants of itself behind.

The LEGACIES project aims to help students learn about the legacy of Valencia and discover the connections of the legacy, which have been received and passed on for generations. As a result, we have developed different workshops focusing on specific aspects of our history that have lasted until the present, which are part of our distinctive history.

We aim to cultivate and awaken the critical thinking of the students, especially when they are at the level where the content is suitable for their age. This will help them develop their own sense of connection with history.

The workshop is formatted in a way to encourage interaction and active participation within the groups. Staff members will act as facilitators and collaborate with students in these workshops. The Museum’s educational center will provide each student with a teaching guide and a digital learning notebook, guiding each student through each phase of the activity.
