EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT
The Education Department is a bridge
connecting FCM’s museum and
environmental activities, the visitors to its
museum and the school community.
One of its main objectives is to interest the school-age
population in contemporary art and the specificity of its
materials and language, as well as to enhance their sensitivity
to the concepts of plastic art. It also attempts to foster new
social behaviour with respect to the environment and
encourage aesthetic respect for environmental initiatives
through educational programmes. Finally, it facilitates
teachers’ work by providing teaching aids and affords
opportunities for encounters, reflection and analysis.
In 2003 the Department continued to promote the
educational role of exhibition visits. It also maintained its
César Manrique in the Foundation and César Manrique. Public
oeuvre programmes, in which over 37,000 pupils and 2,800
teachers have now participated.
The primary aim of this educational programme sponsored by
the FCM is to facilitate pupils’ and teachers’ comprehension of
César Manrique’s thinking and work, and enhance their
sensitivity to contemporary art and the environmental
proposals so central to the artist’s oeuvre. The foundation’s
