Tours for groups and schools to Teresa Solar Abboud. Bird Machine Dream | Activity
Above and beyond a conventional tour, in which content is transmitted in a hierarchical, individual way, participants are helped to construct a collective narrative about the exhibition, creating a dialogue about everybody’s knowledge. The museum ceases to be a sealed-off, inaccessible place to become a space for shared reflection.
This activity fosters skills-oriented learning based on action and communicationusing strategies and contents that can be projected beyond the activity and the museum context. In turn, this context is approached as a place to develop basic, specific skills in the art and humanities spheres, as well as education in civic and ethical values. Through a dialogue with the artworks, this approach fosters quality language education and a commitment to accessibility, standing for making educational curricula, which must be adapted to different learnings, universal. It includes a gender perspective and the values of citizenship, democracy and global awareness, seeking to construct a diverse, fair society. It also sets out to foster students’ emotional well-being with interventions that aim to encourage self-expression and a connection with other people. The key skill worked on here is that of cultural expression and awareness.
