FOR SCHOOLS
The Museum of Education at the University of Padua is committed to providing a diverse and engaging educational experience for students of all levels. Every year, the museum hosts numerous school groups, offering workshops that blend theory with hands-on learning for a dynamic educational experience.
We offer a range of educational experiences that highlight our rich collections, promoting a critical and creative approach to history and educational heritage. Students can explore the past through games and teaching aids, learn about the history of children in Padua during World War I, and even take on the role of a teacher from the past!
Our educational offerings are divided into two main categories:
- Guided Tours, which provide an in-depth exploration of the museum’s full collection.
- Educational Workshops, where students participate in activities at the museum, enhancing their understanding through direct interaction with exhibits.

Visto che ci siete…
Consigliamo di abbinare la visita al Museo Giovanni Poleni con il Museo di Macchine “Enrico Bernardi”, dove sono conservati i principali esemplari di motore a combustione interna che hanno rivoluzionato la tecnologia motoristica europea nel XIX secolo.

PCTO
The Museum of Education offers a transversal skills pathway for orientation (PCTO), specifically designed for High Schools, with a particular focus on the High School of Human Sciences. This program invites students to explore various themes through the objects preserved in the museum, with a special emphasis on social and cultural inclusion. Students will engage in activities that not only deepen their understanding of history and education but also foster critical thinking and empathy around inclusive practices and cultural awareness. It’s an opportunity for students to connect theory with real-world applications, enriching their educational journey.
