What Makes Us Different?
Our approach
The MUSE-ACTIVE pedagogical model combines experiential, sensory learning with museum education and digital tools. Students learn by exploring real museum collections, taking part in hands-on activities and continuing the experience online with their own avatars.
Key principles
The model is built on four key principles: - Active and hands-on learning, inside and outside the classroom. - Strong links between school subjects and museum collections. - Inclusive and accessible learning experiences for diverse learners. - Smart use of digital technologies to extend and enrich museum visits.
Competences
MUSE-ACTIVE supports students in developing key competences such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and digital skills, while increasing their awareness of cultural and natural heritage
