By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter
The nation’s arts and cultural organizations, as well as staff and venues, are offering a total of 149 cultural experience programs to schools this year, the Ministry of Culture said yesterday.
The programs are part of the culture ministry and the Ministry of Education’s efforts to promote education through cultural experiences, the culture ministry said in a statement.
To encourage schools to take their students on trips to arts and cultural venues, many activities are being offered for schools to choose from, it said.
For example, the Museum of Archaeology in Tainan is offering a program that would enable students to learn about the artifacts in the museum’s collection and give them an opportunity to experience cleaning and photographing cultural relics, and making boxes in which to preserve them, the culture ministry said.
