Transversely are offered contents linked to Nature Sciencies, like the presence of extinct faunas that personifies the climatic and environmental changes happened in our past, and the different ways of exploitation and manipulation of the landscape practised by our ancestors. This way, mantaining thematic blocks it´s possible to open the doors to new didactic unities to present new points of view or the needs of other users.

The General Objectives of the Educative Program are centered in to foment the understanding of the present discovering the importance of the past, interpreting the facts and the different realities, and stablishing different relations according to the changes occurred; to analize the human relationship with the environment in the past; to identify and to localize in the time and space the outstanding processes and events of the Prehistory and Antique History of Galicia; understand the differences and similarities of our Historic Inheritance in relation to other places of Spain, and to asume the responsability that the conservation of the Historic Inheritance supposes, and their appreciation like resource for the individual or collective enrichment. With these objectives will be promoted Attitudes of interest, curiosity and taste for know aspects from past times; valuation of the progess of humans, as consecuence of him historic evolution; valuation of the relation of the humanity with the environment in the time, from a starting process of adaptation and respect, to processes of transformation and destructions; and respect for the Historic Inheritance and valuation of itself as font of information about our ancestors, and as configurator element of our identity.

The Procedures, in the same way as attitudes and objectives, have got a specific treatment according to the different Educative Unities, related with the especific curriculum.

The Educative Unities adapts to each educative level and to the specific subjects. For a better exploitation of the activities, the unities centre in some or in other blocks with larger or minor intensity. It´s not our purpose to repeat the same discurse and thematic in all unities; in the first unities we centre in the general aspects of the Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Castrexo World, while that in other ones we attend in a more intensive way to the Castrexo World and to the Roman Time.

A Teachers Manual exists, and it is conceived like a text of help to the preparation of students to the Museo de Prehistoria e Arqueoloxía de Vilalba, in this manual are offerent to the teachers the needed contents to provide a context for the material rest presented in the permanent exhibition; the thematic is fitted from the arrival of the humanity to our land, until the time of the Roman domination. Following with the philosophy of the display, better than centering in the archaeological rest, a preferred attention is gave to the ways of life of human groups and to their evolution; the objective is not the seeing of pieces and objects, but the historic knowledge of these peoples and the approximation to the changes and survivals that happen in so long chronological space. The Educative Program are shaped by a main body that groups a specific multimedia presentation for each unity, the guided visit and the work in the hall with the respective exercices. We also put avaliable for student groups a series or works, guided archaeological routes and other activities. So, joinning the procedures that form part of the program, the stay of the groups can to oscillate between one hour and the complete journey. The nine unities designed are related with the different curriculums of the not universitary studies, in this Manual the contents follow the diagram of the bocks of the exhibition. The concepts of each block are not in a hierarchical structure in the text for the teachers can have avaliable an ample information to adapt it to the characteristics of each group, at the end of the thematic blocks the particular concepts for each unity are related.
