This is the first European course of its kind, focusing on the development
of creative educational relationships between the school and the art
museum. It is intended for school teachers, advisory teachers and
headteachers, especially for pupils aged 4-14, as well as for museum
education staff and animateurs.
The course will be delivered in three languages: english, french and
italian. Communication will be facilitated by interpreters. The same course
will be repeated at each venue, but its content will vary slightly because
of the differences in local facilities.
The course will be delivered by a group of tutors from France, Italy and
the UK, specialising in museum education, visual arts education, teacher
training and research, language and literacy. Teaching will be at
university level and on completion, a certificate of attendance will be
provided from the University of East Anglia, IRRE Piemonte, Galleria Civica
d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea and Inspection Académique de l’ Isère.
This course is the result of a three year research and development project,
funded under the Socrates programme of the European Union.
