The Arkeologi Museoa has two educational programmes so that the school children can enjoy and learn about our museum, archaeology and our heritage.

Primary School

The Arkeologi Museoa offersa visit to studentswith their teachers which consist on doing two activities related to the historical period they previously have chosen: Prehistory, Iron Age and Roman Period and Middle Ages.

Secondary School

Watching the archaeological material displayed in the museum and doing one of the two activities the museum offers, students will learn about the work methods and techniques the archaeologists use so as to find out all aspects of our social environment. Taking into account this proposal, the student group can work on one of these two educational programmes: The Changes of the Landscape or Cultural Influences.

Children´s Workshops

The Arkeologi Museoa offers a wide range of children’s workshops on Sundays during the school course. They are made for children aged between 6 and 12 who must take part with their parents or tutors. Their objectives are to entertain and show them our museum, the archaeology, our heritage and history, based on games, diggings, movies and a lot more.
