The project \u2013 open air, day-care and supervision \u2013 was prepared to cater to the growing need to popularise archaeology and increase knowledge about the statutory heritage preservation requirements. Our idealistic premise was to educate the Public, to make them aware of the historical space around it, to help them understand it; as a result, the Public would respect said historical environment and accordingly shape their attitude towards archaeologists\u2019 work and archaeological sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When designing the programme, we drew upon extensive experience of our colleagues in Germany (Kreisjugendring Centre in Kirchheim), who follow pedagogical principles laid out by Rudolf Steiner. Two points in his methodology were of particular note to us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>The assumption that children up to twelve years of age think figuratively, not abstractly. Hence, one should use simple yet suggestive methods to build a specific space allowing children to explore the subject at hand.<\/li><li>The principle of combining different types of activity \u2013 intellectual, physical and manual \u2013 all of which are natural manners of expression for children of such age.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was carried out regularly, always in the first week of the summer vacations. Each day, children spent seven hours at the workshop. Each year\u2019s event attracted some sixty participants whom we then split into three age groups, assigning them different tasks appropriate for their level of perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme for each day was designed as to combine various complementary activities \u2013 a lecture illustrated with a re-enactment or original artefacts, hands-on experience (e.g. moulding clay), games and sports based upon ancient examples, theatrical activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual workshop activities were like parts of a puzzle. The participants first experienced a fragment included in the programme for the day, were fed pieces of information which, at the end of the cycle, added up to create a larger whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artistic aspect was an extremely important element of the workshops \u2013 the children were thus involved in a creative process, crafting simple everyday-use items such as jewellery or pouches, or taking part in more elaborate activates, such as using simple, natural tools to raise a full-scale dwelling. Theatrical activities were a daily fixture up to the final, open-access day, when the participants presented the show they had prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strived to make the children feel at ease, to feel that they had freedom of movement and choice of place to spend their time. Hence, we provided additional, fixed historical sites allowing self-expression or \u2013 in the case of weariness or overstimulation, or if such a need arose \u2013 temporary inactivity and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In every edition we worked with re-enactment groups, vetting them carefully for represented level and capacity for working with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of our efforts were visible already after a few years. There were children who came back for subsequent editions, up to the age cut-off point. A few such regular participants, having aged out, decided to work with the Museum as volunteers, taking part in further editions, at the same time expanding their knowledge and passing on what they already knew to their younger colleagues. Even today \u2013 as adults \u2013 they stay in touch with the Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional, unique feature was the contact with parents who, through their questions, revealed not only interest in but also compassion towards people living \u2013 and working hard \u2013 in Mazovia two thousand years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical village became part of Pruszk\u00f3w\u2019s cultural landscape, attracting growing interest from the Public, making many inhabitants learn about the Museum\u2019s operations and discover the ancient history of western Mazovia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, we managed to bring back to life a universe which the world had forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>2008 \u2013 First historical-artistic workshop<\/strong><br><strong>A long, long time ago \u2026<\/strong><br>Everyday life in the Middle Ages \u2013 customs, traditions and material culture.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>2009 \u2013 Second historical-artistic workshop<\/strong><br><strong>On the Amber Road<\/strong><br>Contacts between Rome and the world of the Barbarian North \u2013 commercial exchange and mutual impact of different cultures.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>2010 \u2013 Third historical-artistic workshop<\/strong><br><strong>In a Settlement of Ancient Iron-Master<\/strong><br>What was the Mazovian Centre of Metallurgy and why was it unique?
