Group activities for schools

​Meet an archaeologist in a conference-workshop at school.
 
Our school program introduces students to the paleohistoric lifeways of Aboriginal people from an archaeological perspective. These interactive activities provide a hands-on exploration of various subjects with artifact reproductions and the experimentation of crafting techniques.
 
Our elementary-secondary program is designed along the guidelines of the Quebec school program to develop the competencies of the Social universe, Science & technology, and Arts.
 
Our college program aims to develop an interest in anthropology as a multidisciplinary science by presenting different approaches to study human evolution, prehistoric technologies, subsistence techniques and complex societies.

Each activity allows to:

• Discover the diversity and ingenuity of aboriginal technologies
• Handle tools and objects made with natural materials
• Observe demonstrations drawn from tradition and experimentation
• Experiment tools and techniques used in the past
• Understand the contribution of archaeology to social sciences
• Gain a better understanding of aboriginal cultures
• Develop an open mind about human diversity
