History and adventure - education for children

Children step into the roles of explorer, craftsperson and guide. They meet history as an adventure where knowledge, craft and helping others matter.

Pilot · partners wanted

Problem

Children want a history adventure, yet lessons rarely give them something to make with their own hands. There are too few scenarios where everyday life of the past - a workshop, a market, museum work - becomes a group task.

Solution

We run a workshop where the group rebuilds an old craft workshop, market or well, compares its model with an archival photo and prepares a short story about the place. Scenarios draw on sources and are reviewed with museums and schools. Parents mark motifs to avoid in a short survey.

Your role

  • Workshop participant
  • Parent / carer
  • 3D mentor

Children rebuild an old workshop, a market, a well or a scene from a museum’s daily work, then compare their model with an archive photograph. The adventure rests on knowledge, craft and helping others.

This card is a working draft used to gather feedback from parents. The project is linked to Digital Heritage 3D. Parents indicate in the survey which motifs we should avoid.

Who it is for

  • Parents (often a boys track, open to all)
  • Educational museums
  • Schools

First stage

  • A list of civilian motifs approved for the workshop.
  • A research expedition scenario for a group of children.
  • Messaging rules that exclude violent scenes.

Foundation model

The foundation prepares source-based scenarios, consults education partners and keeps the message free of violence. We publish neither children’s names nor protected characters.

We are looking for volunteers and academic partners

Across all foundation projects we seek volunteers for field work, documentation, education, logistics and participant care.

For outstanding candidates we offer placements in every format: on-site, remote and hybrid, as well as research commissions, sponsorship of engineering and master's theses, doctoral work and joint research with universities and student research groups.
