(The calendar for these activities will be published soon). “Museums and the Community” Training Session
The training session “Museums and the Community” led by Dr.ª Ana Duarte took place on 7th and 14th April with the aim of implementing Educational Services in Mértola Museum. The employees and co-workers of the Museum, as well as the employees of DCDT, the library, tourism and other institutions such as the Children’s Workshop, MERTURIS, Serrão Martins Foundation and the students of the Museum and Archaeological Techniques from the ALSUD school took part in this training session.
The main aim of this training session was to systematize information relating to the implementation of educational services in museums via a theoretical component and to present practical solutions for carrying out these activities. The second day was filled with practical activities developed by the trainees in the various museums.
The training course will be concluded with one more session to be carried out on 26th May in which the tutor will show the results of the practical work and will carry out two guided visits with distinct groups with the aim of exemplifying the need to adapt different languages for different types of public. |
