By empowering everyone to create reference points between their lives and other peoples throughout time and across cultures, the Education Centre will offer relevant learning experiences.
Mission
The GEM Education Centre is dedicated to nurturing discovery and inspiring wonder through experiential learning as students and adults explore ancient Egyptian heritage and culture through the GEM’s Collections. Learning experiences at the GEM Education Centre will transform visitors helping to create stronger critical-thinking skills, increased historical empathy, and deeper respect for the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. With programmes directly linked to Egyptian curriculum and Professional Development, students 15+ will view history through intersecting perspectives with creative guidance from GEM experts.
Ever striving to be a leader in the field of museum education, the GEM’s dynamic, progressive, and innovative hub will use integrated technologies to help understand GEM collections. The variety of programme types offered by the GEM Education Centre will allow visitors to ask questions from diverse perspectives and create relevant experiences. By creating essential resources for teaching, learning, training, and researching ancient Egyptian culture, GEM Education Centre will encourage the world to learn from the past and impact the future.
