Educational activities are an extremely important part of the services the Centre offers. These activities, complemented by the exhibitions, reinforce and build links with the community.

Art Adventures

This program for school groups is offered yearly to allow students to have an interactive visit and participate in creative workshops, connecting the exhibitions to the educational objectives of primary and secondary programs. This is an excellent way to initiate students to art history and the visual arts. Information is available on demand.

Middle Ages Kit
The Centre offers primary and secondary school groups an educational kit about the Middle Ages. This can take place at the Centre or in the school, with assistance from the Centre's educator. The workshop includes a collection of objects and images, as well documentation for teachers. The kit brings Middle Ages to life, as the students familiarize themselves with this fascinating era through a role play game.

Interactive Vists
To coincide with the scientific, ethnological, or historical visits, the Centre's educator will present one-hour interactive visits. These visits are a chance to deepen understanding of the theme while being in contact with the presented artifacts. Discovery guaranteed!
