During the period between October 2022 and September 2023, the museum received educational visits from 209 schools, where it was evident that a significant proportion of these schools correspond to official schools, which lack the resources to carry out visits to the Museum. This situation highlights the importance of developing educational programs that provide access to culture and history, especially for those students who face difficulties accessing these experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n As a key actor, the Canal Museum offers non-formal education, with the aim of improving student learning in various subjects, such as social sciences, history and geography of Panama. In addition, it focuses on establishing methodologies based on its expository content to promote constructivist learning, where students acquire information, build knowledge and develop analysis and reasoning skills. With a planned reach of 60 schools to reach the attention of up to 3,000 students from different educational regions of the country, the museum's educational program is aimed primarily at students from primary (4th to 6th grade), pre-middle and high school, covering a wide spectrum of ages and educational levels.<\/span><\/p>\n In line with the general importance of educational programs in history museums, such as the essence of the Panama Canal Museum that tells the history of Panama and its Canal; It seeks to foster learning, promote cultural appreciation, develop critical skills and offer immersive experiences that enrich understanding of the past and strengthen community ties.
