Learning is at the heart of everything we do at Archaeology Scotland, from storytelling activities for the under 5s to workshops for older adults, and everything in between!
As lead body for Aim 4 of Scotland’s Archaeology Strategy, we are passionate about encouraging greater engagement with Scotland’s archaeological heritage.
Archaeology can play an important role in formal learning, helping deliver the Curriculum for Excellence across all areas and supporting key approaches including interdisciplinary learning, outdoor learning and Learning for Sustainability.
We offer support, advice and training opportunities for teachers, youth group leaders and home educators, and provide engaging learning materials through our Heritage Resources Portal and loan kit service. Explore Your Local Heritage using learning resources designed to support local heritage projects.
Heritage Hero Awards give everyone an opportunity to be rewarded for their heritage learning projects.
Through archaeology young people can develop important skills for learning, life and work. Our Archaeology Ambassadors scheme aims to inspire the next generation of archaeologists while providing careers advice for young people.
