💼 What the programme involves
The Dithmarschen Stone Age Park is working on developing the grounds of an archaeological open-air museum and is looking forward to your support with this project. Over the last few years, a “Stone Age settlement” has been recreated on a 40-hectare site. This year, with your help, a “Stone Age house” will be renewed and restored (e.g. with wicker and mud walls, grass roofing etc.). Besides this, you will be working on a “gaming” social media project with a “stone age” theme, as well as creating texts in English for exhibition posters if necessary. You will also have the opportunity to create and star in a cinematic documentary, if you like. You will be guided by experienced museum staff, who will give you crafting tips and tutorials on social media, as well as sharing their knowledge with you about archaeology and the history of the Stone Age. You can try out different tasks working with various tools, materials and techniques. If you are interested in archaeology and history and want to know more about open-air museums, then you will love this camp.
