Educational Programme
The Andrés de Ribera Foundation actively participates in EDUCA, an educational programme organized and promoted by the Jerez City Council, and offers a wide range of activities for schoolchildren and young students through its Didactic Guide.
The Historical Clock Museum, which also houses other unique collections, becomes a living classroom where knowledge is shared and connected to the subjects outlined in the official Andalusian Education Curriculum.
