LEARN IN MUSEUMS
This course is a kind of teacher training course which aims to support school staff with an autonomous experience enriched with ICT (Information and Communication Technology) based learning, Project based Learning and interdisciplinary learning in their personal and professional development and school environment in line with priorities of Erasmus Plus Program.
It is a reality that Museums are an important setting for informal learning; their invaluable collections and purposefully designed spaces mean learning can take place almost ‘accidentally’. Structured visits to museums are undeniably effective and impressive for the learners to keep connection between society and culture, past and now, history and science. That is why Learning in Museums is one of the most important topics of the 21st century
As a course provider, with such a course we aim to add an innovative and creative perspective to our participants’ teaching styles. They will discover the historical and cultural values of the city where the course takes place, and also foresight how to artefacts to engage learners and how to create learning experiences for students visiting museums.
