Cristófol Universe

The Cristòfol Universe is a traveling educational project that brings the Museum to the classroom and turns students into protagonists of a process of research, discovery and creation that takes place over an entire term. Unlike a one-off visit, this proposal allows contemporary art to be integrated into the educational project of the centre and establishes connections with multiple areas of knowledge.

Taking as a starting point the figure of Leandre Cristòfol, one of the most representative artists in the MORERA collection, students discover his life trajectory, his creative processes and the historical and cultural context in which he developed his work. The proposal, however, goes far beyond the knowledge of an artist: it invites them to investigate, formulate questions, manipulate objects, interpret documents and develop their own projects that stimulate creativity and critical thinking.

The project materializes in a pedagogical chest of drawers that contains objects, reproductions, documents, audiovisuals and teaching materials designed for children and young people to learn through experimentation and discovery. The resources do not propose a closed itinerary, but rather offer multiple possibilities for each teacher to adapt them to the interests and needs of their group.

The MORERA educational team accompanies this process with an initial training session for teachers, providing methodological tools to integrate the materials into the center’s programming and enhance its interdisciplinary value.

The project can culminate with a visit to the Museum that allows the learning developed in the classroom to be reconnected with the original works of Leandre Cristòfol, thus closing a learning process that connects school and museum in a significant way.

The Cristòfol Universe promotes methodologies specific to project work, research-based learning and experiential learning, encouraging curiosity, autonomy and the collective construction of knowledge.

Curricularly, it is a particularly transversal proposal, which contributes to the development of artistic and cultural competence, communicative competence, scientific competence, digital competence, civic competence and personal, social and learning-to-learn competence. Its characteristics allow it to be integrated into learning situations at any educational stage.

Target audience : It is not designed for a specific age or educational level. We believe it is flexible enough for educators to make it their own and adapt it to the needs and characteristics of the group.

• Kindergarten and primary schools (from 13th to 6th grade).
• Secondary schools (ESO and baccalaureate).
• Vocational training schools.
• Adult schools.
• Centers and associations with special educational needs.
  

Operating dynamics : The teachers involved in the project must do some prior work to gain knowledge of the materials that make up the chest of drawers and the educational possibilities they have. The Museum will make a presentation of the project exclusively for those who participate, in which some of the possibilities of the materials will be outlined. It is important, however, that the teachers get involved and put some of their creative capacity into it in order to be able to relate the materials that we make available to them with those that are working in educational centers. Once the teachers have done this work, the material can be presented to the groups.
