Education

The “Ca'rte Lab” project is a permanent laboratory of museum education. We organize regular appointments such as workshops, laboratories and educational programs for families, children and youth. 

The working methodology is based on an integrated approach, which takes into account the perception of the art world by the young participants.
The main purpose is to involve them in creative activities inspired by the exhibition display and contents.

The "Cultural Mediators" project/program was launched in 2009 and has been ever since reviewed and updated on regular basis.
Cultural mediators are competent actors within an exhibition space, who react and reply to the visitors questions, hence developing among them an interactive relation to the works on show.
Cultural mediation has proved to be an essential and productive experience for both visitors and the involved students.
The Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage regularly publishes calls addressed to students from the humanities and the related study fields.
The selected students receive a specific training targeted at enhancing their skills of interaction with the public at large, fostering leadership and personal initiative.
The project's main objective is to help create the conditions for a dynamic and productive perception of the artworks by visitors.

80% of the projects are carried out in partnership with some of the leading museums and institutions in Venice and Veneto:

• La Biennale di Venezia
• Comune di Venezia
• Fondaco dei Tedeschi
• Fondazione Musei Civici Venezia
• Fondazione Prada
• Fondazione Querini Stampalia
• Fondazione di Venezia
• Casa dei Tre Oci 
• Fondazione Pinault (Palazzo Grassi - Punta della Dogana)
• Gallerie d’Italia, Vicenza, Palazzo Leoni Montanari
• Fondazione Generali - The Human Safety Net 

The Momus Avant-Garde Summer School is an intensive program dedicated to the study of the Costakis Collection, housed at the Museum of Modern Art in Thessaloniki. It includes preparatory meetings, lectures, guided tours, and hands-on work with original materials, aligning with the educational objectives of university internships.
The program begins with a preliminary online phase, consisting of introductory sessions providing historical context on George Costakis, the formation of the collection, the history of the museum, and the urban context of Thessaloniki. During these sessions, participants are also introduced to the annual tasks assigned by the museum.
During the in-person Summer School, students attend lectures in English covering the history of the collection and museum, electronic music and experimental instruments of the Avant-Garde, as well as artistic materials and practices. The program also includes guided visits to other museums in the city.
Alongside theoretical training, a substantial practical component is included: participants collaborate with museum staff on the development of a new exhibition project focused on an artist well represented in the collection. This includes working with archival documents, artworks in storage, and guided bibliographic research.
