The Embark on history and A museum in my suitcase educationals programs features activities that are both instructive and fun, tailored to the students’ academic progress. Through these educational workshops devoted entirely to learning about Gaspesian history, the Musée de la Gaspésie hopes to offer a concrete way to achieve the various competencies related to the social
universe. In addition, we offer suggestions for pre- and post-visit activities to help students to make the most of their visit – the first, to arouse their interest and the second, to help them integrate newly acquired knowledge.

The Gaspe of animals
In a look-and-find game, students try to find animals related to certain objects in the At the Meeting of the Worlds exhibition. They learn that human history is closely linked to that of animals. It's a fun and original way for students to discover how people lived in the past, and how objects have evolved over time.
