Since 1998, the Museu Fundación Juan March has made the museum's collection and its temporary exhibitions available to teachers and professors for educational purposes, as well as organizing a series of educational activities whose scope has expanded over the years.
In addition to these activities designed for students, the museum also organizes courses on contemporary art.
The museum's "Didactic Portfolios" are resources prepared by the institution in order to provide schools with educational materials for the classroom prior to a visit to the museum. They include guided activities that are completed through an itinerary at the museum itself and conclude in a workshop.
The objective of these activities is to work with color, media and volume as basic elements of expression.
The human body, landscape, the cultures of the world, and the subconscious mind are the thematic itineraries offered by the museum in order to familiarize students with some of the most frequently recurring themes in art history and to lead them toward the analysis of works of art through those themes.
These itineraries are intended for primary-school students ("human body," "landscape," and "cultures of the world") and for secondary-school students ("subconscious mind" and "cultures of the world").
Exploring the rooms of the museum and led by museum docents, pre-school, primary- and secondary-school students will come into contact with a very representative sampling of contemporary Spanish art. In a relaxed atmosphere, the team of docents will suggest ways in which the students may engage in a direct dialogue with the works on display so that they learn to become active viewers.
The educational team at the museum also designs specific didactic itineraries for temporary exhibitions, for secondary-school students. These activities conclude in a workshop and serve to introduce students to the formal and conceptual language associated with the works in each individual exhibition.
