Calling all Educators! Iziko’s many collections bring learning to life with highly visual, and often engaging displays and experiences. A visit to the museum is an immersive learning exploration. Life Sciences, Social Sciences and Art come alive during museum lessons. The school programmes are directly aligned to the national CAPS curriculum and includes visual art, natural history and social history education from pre-primary to high school level and beyond. Museum Educators provide age-appropriate learning engagements for ECD, GET, FET and HE programmes using exhibitions, objects and specimens to augment the classroom experience.
Lessons at the Iziko Slave Lodge uncover our histories, exploring the impact of colonisation and slavery through the stories of Cape Town families with slave ancestry, the history of oppression, resistance and liberty. See the works of historic South African and international artists at the ISANG provides tangible reference for the visual art curriculum. Explore our living world and life sciences at the Iziko South African Museum or the wonders of the night sky at the Planetarium and Digital Dome. There’s so much more to explore.
