Abstract

INTRODUCTION. This article describes a practical experience of teaching innovation, carried out as part of the Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Object Conservation and Restoration at the University of Seville (Spain). METHOD. The main aim of the academic internships was to contribute actively to students’ training by giving them real practical experience in a professional environment, outside of the familiar environment of the classroom. RESULTS. The use of specific conservation-restoration methods in a project involving mural paintings located in the dome of the Church of San Andrés (Seville) enabled students to experience a real professional situation. The large format of the mural paintings and the implementation of occupational health and safety measures enhanced students’ skills and abilities, which are associated with their future profession, and gave them invaluable experience for future job applications. DISCUSSION. The use of appropriate resources in the teaching and learning process can help to increase the quality of teaching.
