The educational programme at Igartubeiti involves activities and explanations based on the idea of the Museum as a lifelong learning centre.
Starting from a broad vision of local heritage (cultural, natural and intangible), emphasis is given to the importance of dialogue and active observation of one’s surroundings.
The project is being continually updated, and is open to anyone who wishes to participate. It is aimed at audiences of all types, from schoolchildren to families, adults, children and the elderly.
It features visits, activities, cultural projects, seminars and other educational material.
