ETNO has hidden himself in the display cases of toys in the exhibition. Can you help us find him? 

A game of discovery to experience in the rooms of L'ETNO. The museum seen through different eyes - those of children - in a playful and entertaining way. For children aged 4 to 7 accompanied by adults. 

The permanent exhibition of L'ETNO, Museu Valencià d'Etnologia "It is not easy to be Valencian" consists of three sections: the city, the irrigated farmland and the marshland, and the dryland and the mountains. This guide is a playful and educational proposal about the first one: the city. Through different activities that encourage creativity and critical thinking, we want adults and children to learn a little more about Valencian cities and the many changes that have taken place in them over the last century.

The guide is aimed at families with children between 6 and 11 years old. You can all take part in the activities and join in with them. Each proposal consists of three itineraries with different levels of difficulty. As a guideline, each level corresponds to an age range, although adults can choose the activities that you consider most appropriate to the profile of the children.

To do the activities, you can consult the information panels in the room and use the folder and pencil provided at the entrance. The suggested route can be completed in 1 hour. At the end of the City Hall there is a new rest area with tables where you can do or finish some activities. After the visit, you can continue learning at home with other suggestions at the end of the guide.

The guide is only available in Spanish and Valencian.

I don't want gold, I don't want silver, what I want is to break the piñata! In this traditional Christmas workshop, we will make together the traditional Mexican seven-pointed piñata so that you can fill it with wishes and your favourite sweets, and we will also discover together its symbolism. Are you in?

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.
