Educational Programmes
Who is knowledgeable and who isn’t? Who learns and who has to teach? Is it possible to have a museum where we all learn together? Can education set us free? How is history constructed? MACBA conceives education as a backbone that articulates the role of the Museum in relation to communities, paying special attention to the educational community and the Raval neighbourhood, of which we are a part.
School Visits
School Visits
A group visit to the museum is an ideal chance to construct a shared space for critical reflection about the works of art there and their connections with our here and now. On this basis we run our different projects, organised around listening, conversation and openness in terms of narratives and ways of inhabiting the museum. We offer visits for all ages to the MACBA Collection and temporary exhibitions. In all projects for school visits, we work on the design, follow-up and execution of ideas with specialist teams of educators, artists and researchers.
Art at School
Art at School
We work in the conviction that art is an experimental tool that activates knowledge and opens up new ways of seeing the world. Art calls on us, questions us and puts us in the position of active subjects, capable of constructing our own meanings. It is on this basis that a work of art broadens its meaning through educational practice. The Art at School projects are devised together with artists to take the distinctive, extraordinary experience of art beyond the museum, and to strengthen and broaden links with schools and their educational communities.
Training for Teachers
Training for Teachers
We are convinced that teaching is a radically creative practice. So, to accompany and feed this creativity, we provide places to meet, work together and pool knowledge between educational practice (both formal and informal) and artistic practice. Moreover, these spaces set out to create a community of teachers with whom to carry on a conversation and work on contemporary art in the classroom; a community with an impact on the museum’s own educational programme.
Publishing. Quadern d’educació 1
Macarena García; Camila González Simón; Lluc Mayol; Alba Oller; Aida Sánchez de Serdio Martín; Belén Soto
Publishing is the opening number to a line of publications from MACBA’s Education Department inspired by the day-to-day educational practices within contemporary art and museums. This first edition in the Quadern d’educació (Educational Notebook) provides time to think about our experiences, share what we have learnt and to think about publishing as an artistic and pedagogical practice. As such, fanzines, stickers, conceptual maps, picture books and hashtags become gestures that cause us to reflect on the how, why, and to whom education is made public.

COMMUNITIES OF LEARNING AND UNLEARNING
A classroom-museum is not based on the presence of teachers and students, or the presence of schools, but on the existence of communities of learning and unlearning.
