Museums provide students and educators with exceptional hands-on learning experiences, allowing them to explore various academic disciplines and gain a deeper understanding of their subjects. The interactive nature of museum or exhibition visits sparks students\u2019 curiosity and kindles their enthusiasm for learning, resulting in a more engaging and impactful educational experience. As part of its projects, the DEN organises museum visits to enrich students\u2019 knowledge and skills. During a visit to the Tate Modern in London, a group of students attended an exhibition titled \u201cSoul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power.\u201d After viewing the work of different artists, they worked on scripts for a play, which they performed twice at the University.
