Arts and cultural heritage are valuable tools to encourage the development and use of skills that a person can use throughout life in the continuously changing context of today's society. Museums play their role in promoting social inclusion when they become educational environments and interact with all social groups through critical thinking, understanding, collaboration, communication, enjoyment, knowledge, creativity, and through the intervention of guides, educators, teachers, facilitators to listen, interact and promote active experiences, both emotional and physical.
The museum objects can seduce the visitors and become a learning opportunity thanks to an emotional approach linked to aesthetical effects produced by observing the artworks and a cognitive approach that will produce new knowledge. The visitors can shift their point of view: from the mere observation of an object to a full fruition allowing a critical evaluation.
It is possible to use the tools proposed in this module in schools, with adults, young people, and children.
