SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 6 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Education area and the Autonomous Organization of Museums and Centers (OAMC), has launched the second edition of ‘La Museoneta va a tu cole’, with which it brings students closer to the pieces and most representative objects from the collections of the different museums in Tenerife and promote new learning methods.
The insular Councilor for Education and Museums, Concepción Rivero, commented that during the past year the initiative was very well received, since it reached 2,000 minors from 28 different educational centers, and stressed that with this new edition they want to continue disseminating the heritage of the island to make it known among the youngest but also to teach them how necessary it is to preserve it.
In addition, he wanted to recall the double work of this project, which also offers “training in didactic methodology for teachers with the aim of promoting the dissemination of heritage and its use as teaching material.” Along these lines, Rivero assured that “the hook that the activity can provide to encourage families to visit the different museums in Tenerife should not be forgotten.”
The counselor explained that those interested in participating in this activity can discover its details through the Tenerife Joven y Educa website or the Cabildo Educa Catalogue, where they will find all the information on this and other educational initiatives that the Cabildo de Tenerife organizes for schools.
During this course, La Museoneta will bring objects of a very different nature that make up the collections of the five island museums: the Museum of History and Anthropology, the Museum of Natural Sciences, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Science and the Cosmos and the Center of Documentation of the Canary Islands and America.
In this way, Primary school students will learn about the different work procedures used in these centers for the protection of heritage and will have the opportunity to create their own personal history kit or box using techniques typical of a museum professional.
