Course Description
Museums as hubs for digitalisation, innovation and interaction
In today’s society, museums and galleries are more relevant than they have ever been. In essence, museums have evolved from exclusive repositories of curated collections to inclusive, dynamic spaces that cater to a broad and diverse audience. They are hubs of education and culture oriented to create multidisciplinary spaces, integrating art, science, history and technology. Moreover, museums stimulate curiosity, a sense of wonder, that inspires and unleashes new ideas helping with professional and personal growth.
Explore important museums and tradition of Dubrovnik – the Pearl of Adriatic
We designed this course for teachers to experience a completely different learning environment that lets them develop creativity and critical thinking; analytical, observation and problem-solving skills. The participants will also explore how museum methods and pedagogies can help with their everyday curricular or extracurricular activities.
With our excellent teacher trainers, the participants will visit museum exhibitions and take part in various workshops that align with social and natural science subjects as well as new technologies.
Experiential and project-based learning
Through the visit to the Old Town and City Walls of Dubrovnik – the non-typical living museum, the Cultural History and the Maritime Museum, the Red History Museuem, and the amazing island of Lokrum where according to legend Richard the Lion-Heart was cast ashore, the participants will also learn how museums collaborate with other schools and teachers in the town, and how they develop their projects.
Furthermore, in an informal environment, participants will have the chance to forge meaningful connections with colleagues from across Europe and familiarize themselves with Croatian local traditions, cultural heritage and natural beauties.
By the end of the course, the participants will gain a comprehensive and innovative toolkit to enrich their educational practices and help students learn better and think bigger.
