School

From Antiquity to the digital classroom, the exhibition traces the history of schooling and questions its mission: to educate, to emancipate and to help everyone find their place in society.

Panel by panel:

• The first schools, from ancient China to Greek and Roman Antiquity
• From Charlemagne to the medieval universities
• The grandes écoles and the birth of free, secular state schooling
• Equal opportunities and educational inequalities
• How schools are organised today: cycles and the common core
• New teaching methods, from Montessori to the object lesson
• Digital technology, sustainable development education and the school of tomorrow

Audience: all ages. Ideal for: the start of the school year, a heritage exhibition on schooling, a project with a school or a parents' association.
