Dear
Colleague
The Hampshire and Wight
Trust for Maritime Archaeology are delighted to announce that we have received
funding from English Heritage through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability fund
to run free Maritime Archaeology Access and Learning Workshops in 2007 and
2008. These workshops will run free of
charge, including accommodation, and are open to anyone! The only
contribution participants are asked to make is to buy their own evening meal.
We would suggest the
following people might find them useful:
- Education Officers in
archaeological organisations
- Education Officers in
museums
- Teachers
- Young Archaeology Club
leaders
- Marine Wildlife
Rangers and Officers
- Diving professionals
looking to organise new and exciting events
- Education Officers
within the aggregate industry
- Anyone involved in
organising events for children and families who would like to have a
maritime archaeology focus
The workshops will
encourage the sharing of ideas and best practice in events and activity
planning. HWTMA staff will be on hand to demonstrate their ideas for
activities and specialists will be running sessions on themes ranging from
event photography to writing a good risk assessment. The residential aspect
will encourage networking and will hopefully help to spark some exciting new
outreach projects.
The first workshop will
be held on the 25th – 26th July 2007 at Sandown,
Isle of Wight, a second workshop is planned
for February 2008. A mini bus pick up will be available from Southampton. For more information please contact Alison
Hamer or Rebecca Causer at HWTMA. Feel free to forward this to any colleagues
who might be interested,
Best
wishes
