EMMA's services in support of the curriculum
EMMA’s educational programme supports the school curriculum and the goals of broad competence.
Art is excellent for phenomenon-based learning that connects and crosses subject boundaries.
As a learning environment, EMMA offers versatile opportunities to deepen and supplement what has been learned in school and early childhood education. The collections and exhibitions widely support teaching that combines different subjects and multidisciplinary learning modules.
Below we explain in more detail what the goals of broad competence mean in EMMA’s art museum environment.
You can always make wishes about the content of the tour or tell us what topics you are currently covering at school. Write these in the additional information section on the booking form – we will always try to take your wishes into account where possible. When making a reservation, we hope that you mention any special needs that you might have. We take students who need special support into account in our services.
All our services are available in plain Finnish.
You can also book a tour for preparatory classes and those studying Finnish. In addition to plain Finnish, we use picture cards to support understanding of art and strengthening one’s own expression.
All EMMA’s guided tours are interactive, functional and participatory.
We examine art techniques and art history in a variety of ways and practice multiliteracy skills, self-expression, and emotional, empathy and interaction skills. During a museum visit, we also get to know the museum as the home of art.
Art can be many things!
