Mater Dei is a city school with a very diverse audience. Art plays an important role in the pedagogical approach.

With the support of M-LIFE and the Queen Paola Foundation, M and Mater Dei developed a project that involved children intensively in the museum. There were specific activities for each grade. For example, the children of the third grade attended a series of workshops guided by artists or arts-education facilitators, such as photographer Evy Raes and participatory theater maker Katrien Oosterlinck. The children of the sixth grade followed a guide course and gave a tour to their parents and teachers. The practical implementation of the project was in the hands of M's public relations department and a teacher from Mater Dei.
