Education Programmes

Since 2008, as part of its educational and communication policy, the Philatelic and Postal Museum has offered programs at all school levels, from pre-school (nursery school, kindergarten) to secondary school (high school).

The Museum’s educational programmes are based on modern educational standards and theories of museum education, adapted to the needs and abilities of each age group.

The objectives of the educational programmes for our young visitors are as follows:

To familiarise them with the Museum and its exhibits through a process that is experiential and, at the same time, entertaining.
To activate their ability to think critically and to observe.
To develop a sense of satisfaction and self-confidence from guided discovery.
To cooperate and work in teams.
To develop their oral and written language skills.

Structure of educational programmes

Welcome and introduction to the Museum.
Presentation of the history of the Museum, its premises and its collections.
Presentation of the educational theme based on a dialogue. The children learn, observe, compare, imagine and play.
Creative activities with educational booklets, games and painting.
Other activities like treasure hunting, storytelling, etc.
