| Summary: | This study explores current and potential connections between museums, schools, and universities. It is based on 18 expert interviews with representatives from 19 institutions, conducted between 2015 and 2024, to assess feasibility and gather ideas for improving communication and collaboration between these educational institutions. Of the 19 participating institutions, 17 are Hispanic. The study is further enriched by interviews with two experts from Brazil and France, who collaborate within the Spanish university sector. This qualitative research uses interviews to analyze the key opinions of its participants, from both an analytical and propositional perspective. Five analytical categories are defined to extract and organize the final results: museum conceptualization, institutional relationships, collaboration strategies, pedagogical and methodological approaches, and transformation and development. The findings underscore the importance and feasibility of interinstitutional cooperation. The value of creating convergent narratives and developing collaborative and egalitarian projects is highlighted. The study suggests viewing museum as spaces with high educational potential, social function, and research capacity. The key lies in mediating cognitive/esthetic proposals; and educational approaches, fostering new perspectives and interconnections. This seeks to create a network of relationships that strengthens the bond between these three institutions, enhancing their joint educational impact. |
