The mosaic tradition in Valencia dates back to Roman times and has lasted until the present day. In the workshop we will create a mosaic full of colour, then we will submerge it as if it had been covered for years, and finally, we will bring out the colours in a magical way, leaving the mark of the passage of time. Do you want to make magic? We invite you to give it a try.

Where can we find a witch? Witches can be anywhere. They can be found in the woods or in caves. Some witches do not use broomsticks and ride bicycles. Others go by boat and live on an island. We can even meet them in the lift... there are very modern witches! Do you know the witches of the caves of Poble Nou de Benitatxell or the modern witches of Benidorm? Come and discover them!

Do you want to make a barraca? In this workshop we will make a small reproduction of this traditional dwelling and its surrounding space, and we will recreate the way of life of the Valencian people who lived more than a century ago in these houses that can still be found today in popular areas such as El Palmar or the Albufera.

Many years ago, pirates sailed the seas, travelled far and wide, everywhere, and accumulated a great deal of treasure. Valencia was not spared from the attack of these pirates and legend tells that there is are treasures hidden here, which can be found by means of a map. Do you want to start a pirate adventure and find the treasure?
We are waiting for you at L'ETNO.

We are starting the new season with renewed educational workshops for the whole family. Aimed at children from 4 years of age accompanied by an adult, they take place on Sundays at 12:00 noon. 

Tickets will be distributed from the Thursday before each workshop and the person in charge will collect the participants in the museum foyer at 12:00 noon. 

The workshops will be held in both Spanish and Valencian.

At L'ETNO we want to offer activities for everyone and we love to welcome families.

 Here are some of the activities especially designed for families:

• Workshops for families. Every Sunday at 12:00 noon you can come to L'ETNO to enjoy some very participative and lighthearted activities designed to amuse and entertain the whole family.
• Etnoviatge. A new educational initiative in booklet format aimed at giving families the ability to make visits independently with children from 6 to 11 years old. You can ask for it at the information point in the foyer of the Beneficència.
• Where is ETNO? A new discovery game that takes place in the rooms of the museum. The aim is to find a character called ETNO. At the end there is a prize for whoever finds him.
   

Come, enjoy and learn with us!!

La Fiesta Valor is a popular festival that wants to spread through the streets and squares of all parts of the Valencian Country, it is an opportunity to listen to professional storytellers, but also to grandmothers and grandfathers who know how to tell. A festival of the word for everyone's ears.

It is an initiative of the Enric Valor Chair of the Universitat d'Alacant, with the collaboration of the L'ETNO Library.

From the vocation that L'ETNO has as a social museum, we thought and designed our party so that it could be copied and adapted by any town that wanted to make one. 

In this article we wanted to tell you how the L'ETNO Courage Party went in case you would like to get ideas or ask us for resources. Everything we created was with that intention: that any Valencian town could reuse everything, from the graphic image of the festival, to the texts adapted from the fables of Enric Valor to make participatory readings and theatre.

The network of Museum Itineraries in a gender perspective incorporates the gender perspective into the cultural visit to the museum. A perspective that studies the cultural and social constructions that are specific to men and women, that which identifies the feminine and the masculine. This network offers visitors to the participating museums a different reading of the collections on display, with the aim of promoting gender equality in the face of diversity. 

L'ETNO, Museu Valencià d'Etnologia has developed a gender itinerary or tour, selecting a set of pieces and spaces from its permanent collection that show significant interest in relation to gender representations. Visitors can consult and download the information and material necessary to follow the proposed routes at www.relecturas.es. 

These itineraries do not focus exclusively on the figure of women, but also explore representations of men and masculinity, as well as the presence of transgender identities, third genders or alternative genders to the Western dual system of sex/gender. They also focus on aspects such as gender ideology and systems, stereotypes and roles, relations between spaces, history and gender, etc. 

Some of the objectives of the Relecturas network are to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of Valencian cultural heritage, to promote intercultural dialogue, to strengthen links between Valencian museums, and to boost cultural tourism. It also seeks to teach values of respect, coexistence and tolerance in order to achieve real and effective equality between women and men.

Ministrils del Raval is a traditional music ensemble that was created in 1988 and which, through five albums, has carried out a rigorous research with an updated vision of the ethnomusical heritage of Catalonia. 

"La Filomena se'n va al mercat" is a family show in which traditional dances and songs, as well as food products, are presented through a musical story. 

Traditional music and food go hand in hand in this show. The group proposes a dialogue between the present and the past; between the speed of today and the slowness of the past; between haste and calm; between fast-food and chup-chup? Between a woman of today, Alba, and a woman of yesteryear, her aunt Filomena, a woman who was not what women were supposed to be... For Filomena, every meal was a journey, and every music was food. We are lucky if we have food and songs, because they help us digest life.

Ataxía was born in Valencia in 2011 from the meeting of Alberto Mateo with Andreas Melas, Julia Badenes and Diego López. Ataxía, a Greek name meaning disorder, and metaphorically, mischief or misbehaviour, serves as an excuse for this group to offer us a show made up of their own pieces, traditional songs and rebétiko themes, a Greek singing and dancing genre which, due to its marginal origin and theme, has certain similarities with tango, raï or fado, and which emerged in Greece at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. 

The group has released the albums Música del submón in 2017 and Ataxía in 2021. This second album features 30 musicians from different countries of the European and Eastern Mediterranean and includes themes that deal with various social and personal issues: the marginalised classes, love and heartbreak, censorship and freedom, underworld hustling and the hard work of the sea. "And by the end of the night, tightly embraced, the sweat drips right off. This is what remains.
