The Museo Universidad de Navarra has designed its new school program for the 2022-23 academic year with the aim of continuing to support the educational work of teachers. The offer includes proposals for all educational levels, from Early Childhood Education to High School, including Vocational Training and Special Education. In the 21-22 academic year, which was supported by the Pamplona City Council, a total of 5,968 students from 170 school groups participated.
This year, in addition to the usual program, already consolidated, we continue to collaborate with the General Directorate for Peace, Coexistence and Human Rights of the Government of Navarre and with Mancoeduca, the environmental education section of the Pamplona Community of Pamplona.
In the first case, two collaborative programs that promote education for peace and emotional intelligence have been promoted: Fire Stories, after Tàpiesaimed at students in kindergarten, primary and special education and inspired by the work Incendi (1991), by Antoni Tàpies, which is part of the Museum Collection; and Stories of Fire, after Oteizafor Secondary and High School students, which takes as its starting point the piece Elías y su carro de fuego, by Jorge Oteiza, also belonging to the Collection. The objective is to create a large mural among all the participants. Mancoeduca has developed different programs that unite art and the environment.
WOMEN IN THE ARTS
In addition, a new program has been launched Women in the Arts: An Incomplete Equation?aimed at secondary and high school students. The proposal is based on different artistic works that can contribute to reflection on gender issues. Thus, it takes up the work of women artists, past and present, also emphasizing their importance as promoters, patrons and curators in the artistic field.
The programs can be carried out in person at the Museum, with visits to the exhibitions and work in the workshop area, and also in schools, virtually, through digital devices. All the programs include a teacher's notebook, which can be downloaded from the Museum's website, a tool designed to share with teachers the intentions and objectives of the proposal and to help them work with their students. To register, schools can contact the MUN educational team by email at educacionmuseo@unav.es or by phone at 686 239 987.
