The teacher's role

We want you as an adult to be active, participating and curious. Teachers are responsible for the group throughout the visit and may be asked to help along the way. Explainer is responsible for implementing the program. 

Before the visit

Our teaching methods do not require any preparation, but it is always useful to prepare students for a museum visit. Feel free to show pictures or video from the museum, talk about what will happen, and view our digital resources that can be used for pre- and post-work.

After the visit

Reflect and discuss with the students after the lesson, preferably in groups.
