The Canary Museum and Spar Gran Canaria renew their alliance to disseminate the history of our islands

For the fifth consecutive year, El Museo Canario and the SPAR Gran Canaria supermarket chain have renewed their patronage agreement, a collaboration that provides continuity to the educational project 'Family Visits'. Through this program, families on the island have a free activity to enjoy the culture and experience the Canarian history and identity in first person.

 

The renewal of the project was signed today by the president of El Museo Canario, Diego López Díaz, together with the board of directors of SPAR Gran Canaria; its president, Ángel Medina Padrón, its vice president, José López, and the general director of the chain, Dunia Pérez, also counting on the assistance of the museum director, Daniel Pérez.

 

 

 

 

Reflecting its commitment to the Canarian heritage and its culture, the SPAR Gran Canaria group continues to be the exclusive sponsor of the 'Family Visits' program of El Museo Canario. Thus, the project maintains its structure in 2024, with a monthly activity held on a Sunday. The 'Family Visits' will once again have a playful and participatory nature, with a variety of proposals such as workshops, games, dramatized visits and dynamic tours.

 

The success of the initiative was consolidated again last year, in which a total of 129 families participated in the 12 days of 'Family Visits', with a total of 346 attendees, of which 196 corresponded to boys and girls between 4 and 12 years old and 150 adults. 

 

The second 'Family Visit' to be held this year will take place this Sunday, February 25, with a painting workshop. The programming for this 2024 will continue with the 'Handmade' workshop visit, with a day of storytelling, with the workshops 'Design your exhibition', 'Writing in time' and 'Archaeology workshop', as well as with visits and workshops to the museum, where families will be able to discover the ways and conditions of life of the Gran Canaria aboriginal population. To attend upcoming visits, those interested can consult the schedule and register through the El Museo Canario website and social networks.

 

Committed to Canarian culture

 

With the sponsorship of this educational program, the SPAR Gran Canaria group contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4: 'Quality education', with support for an initiative that seeks to teach history to develop social skills and capabilities, at the same time that promotes transversal values ​​of inclusion, sustainability, solidarity and equality, in addition to incorporating technological innovation for an immersive learning experience.

 

SPAR Gran Canaria's commitment to the culture rooted in the traditions of the Canarian people is reinforced, in addition to the sponsorship of this project, with other actions such as the support that the chain maintains for the Gran Canarian folkloric group Los Gofiones, which this year will celebrate its 20th anniversary since the first collaboration, or sponsorship of the SPAR Guerra del Río lateen sailing boat, which will soon be renewed for the 21st consecutive year.
