CRITICAL THINKING
Art is not only about art: children and adults can develop critical thinking, language skills, interpersonal communication and have fun at the same time, just by learning to LOOK and TALK about what they SEE in a museum. By addressing themes and questions that arise in relation to modern and contemporary art, children can build up on their knowledge and life experience.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Language matters! In our globalised world, English is fast becoming a tool for communicating but also a way of living. Our activities combine the power of images with discussions in English, so that children and young adults have the opportunity to absorb the language effectively, unselfconsciously and playfully. We are also committed to the learning process by offering a select number of bi-lingual English and Italian programmes.
ART
It is never too early or too late to learn how to look at art and artists- but it helps if we understand at an early stage that there are more ways to describe the world than just words and numbers.This is why we offer programmes for young children (pre-school), as well as students of all ages looking at art through a thematic lens.
LIFE SKILLS
Skills matter! The latest thinking about education and future success encourages a shift away from traditional knowledge towards developing critical skills for life. How much we know matters less than how we learn, so we gently guide students towards learning how to think outside of the box.
