Education

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món's educational programmes are aimed at, and created for, all the museum's visitors. Using the museum's wealth of ethnological heritage from around the world as a starting point, and anthropology as a methodological tool, the various projects aim to foster the creative and analytical skills of children and young people, while also creating places for learning, exchange, reflection and critical dialogue.

 

Museum-school projects

The MUEC participates in various educational projects in collaboration with local schools. The school and the museum share the same educational goal: designing a cross-cutting project where the students become active players in producing meaning and knowledge, based on the appropriation of heritage from their immediate surroundings.

Educational programme 2023-2024

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món offers the educational community a wide range of visits and workshops that feature ethnology and anthropology as tools for understanding and exploring the world, using comparison as a way of learning and fostering investigation through objects.

We live in a complex, diverse society, in a globalised world undergoing constant change. Anthropology, as the scientific discipline the museum is based on, highlights this cultural diversity while allowing us to reflect on what unites us as human beings. It invites us to see the world through the eyes of people who are not like us and to question what is most familiar to us.

A fascinating world ready to be discovered through our activities!

Parc Montjuïc Venue

Parc Montjuïc Venue

We place emphasis on learning through objects and their context, on their uses and the societies that used and produced them. Our preferred themes include tools and technology, work and its division by gender, play in relation to human needs for survival. We use comparison as a methodological tool for rethinking our immediate reality.
