(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar Museums (QM) is organising a series of ‘teachers training' workshops to ensure two Qatar-Germany Year of Culture landmark exhibitions in October are enjoyed by guests of all ages.
The QM department of education will be offering teachers training from September 24. Each session will equip teachers to integrate content from the exhibitions into their teaching and class planning, including curriculum-alignment with the topics of the exhibitions.
QM said teachers will also be prepared to conduct self-guided tours for students
following the training.
All programmes and learning materials have been developed in collaboration with Deutsche Bank, Volkswagen, the German embassy and the Goethe-Institut.

This training focuses on certain aspects of the exhibition and introducing artists' biographies. A variety of post-visit learning materials, student and teacher guides, as well as suggestions for creative learning activities will be discussed and shared during the session.
The sessions for this exhibition will take place from 9am to 1pm at the Fire Station Auditorium on October 1, 2 and 4 for English speakers and October 3 and 5 for Arabic speakers.
