Teaching aids offered by the Empolese Valdelsa Museums
The Empolese Valdelsa Museums present their educational itineraries with visits for schools of all levels for the 2018/2019 school year. The offer includes a programme of seven thematic itineraries within the region. Diverse itineraries include visits to a choice of MuDEV Museums, all offering different routes throughout the region. Information packs are available, providing materials and activities for families and for individuals so that the museum sites come alive. Children can interact with the cultural heritage of the territory outside of the school environment, along with the adults who accompany them. The artistic, cultural and scenic heritage of the Empolese Valdelsa region lends itself to interaction at any age and school participation provides a particularly valuable opportunity for growth and learning.As a widespread museum the 11 municipalities of the territory (Capraia and Limite, Castelfiorentino, Certaldo, Cerreto Guidi, Empoli, Fucecchio, Gambassi Terme, Montaione, Montelupo Fiorentino, Montespertoli and Vinci) offer schools rich and varied educational proposals of new ways to experience this fascinating region. New itineraries have been created utilising themes that lend themselves to the particular didactic intent of each individual site whilst still unifying the overarching aims of the museum network.
Visits can vary according to choices made by teachers, also potentially including other sites in the region. To learn more visit www.toscananelcuore.it For proposals regarding the Municipality of Empoli, the organisation reserves the right to confirm the availability of services on request.
