Title & Content

Title:
Heritage Goes to School. The Importance of Archaeological Dissemination in Education
Content:
During the last years archaeology has been widely introduced in schools. The need for a humanistic education and the importance of archaeology to understand the relationships between people, societies and their environment, have allowed a great development of heritage skills at basic educational levels. The main objective of this session is for the participants to expose different projects that are carried out in education for the dissemination of archaeology for schoolchildren and help train teachers in the field of archaeology, its dissemination and teaching it to students. Different points of view are welcome. From presentations based on basic projects in which a site is explained to new ways of exhibiting the many facets that archaeologists, teachers, disseminators and professionals can present to disclose archaeological assets to students. Participants in this session can discuss how they think such technologies can be used differently with different stakeholders. New points of view in the teaching of archaeology in education are welcome.
