Dissecting the dirt: Advanced young archaeology course

Are you aged between 16 – 25 and looking to develop transferable skills for the future? Get hands-on experience in this brand new series of workshops for young people while discovering more about archaeology, history and geography!

Gain valuable transferable skills including project management and leadership by planning and supporting our Young Archaeologists Club, then get in-depth archaeological training from our community archaeologist, Alexis. These full-day sessions will be fun and active opportunities to gain valuable skills for the future!

If you have a keen interest in archaeology, history, geography or geology, and are looking to develop professional transferable skills, this course is perfect for you.

You’ll start by helping with our Young Archaeologists’ Club and later in the term, you will plan and facilitate sessions for them. In the afternoon you will get in-depth, practical archaeological training – the skills you’ll learn are useful in the field, but also in many different career paths. The interesting and informative sessions will give you a chance to get creative!

Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC)

We’ve teamed up with the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), an educational charity, to open west London’s first YAC. The club gives children ages 8 – 16 a chance to get their hands dirty doing real archaeology — handle historical artefacts, meet archaeologists and try your hand at traditional crafts., all while gaining skills and making friends!

From investigating historical poo to taking part in a real archaeological dig at Fulham Palace, each session has its own exciting topic to discover.

• Sessions take place in the education centre on Saturdays from 10.15 – 12.15.
• Students attend independently.
• Students should come dressed appropriately for outdoor activities.
