Guided tours and educational activities for all audiences

School programs

Educational services

The Museum’s Educational Service receives groups of students and teachers, booked in advance, and provides guidance by specialized monitors, who guide the visit according to the age group and school level of each group. So that the visit is as successful as expected, it is necessary to keep a tight collaboration between the technicians from the Educational Service and the teachers, so we suggest a preparation tour to the Shoe Museum by the teacher first.

According to public and educational interests, we provide the following activities:

• Visit - consists only of the guided tour to the permanent and/or temporary exhibition. This visit may be general or theme based (estimated time: 50 minutes)
• Visit + workshop - consists of the tour to the permanent and/or temporary exhibition, followed by a previously selected workshop (estimated time: 90 minutes)

Public with specific needs

The Educational Service develops a set of guided tours and activities aimed at a public with special needs, which explore the different senses through body expression workshops and by working on fine motor skills. The workshops resort to body expression, painting and sounds, leading the participants to discover and overcome their own limits. For more information contact the Museum’s Educational Service.
