The promotion of public knowledge, interest and engagement in issues surrounding maritime archaeology and aggregates is an area where there are many opportunities for increasing the range and profile of education and outreach activities. This is particularly evident in areas close to offshore aggregates dredging areas where there are often highly visible links to the industry through vessels, wharves and transportation. This project focused on capacity building to raise the profile of the resource through education and outreach.
These web-pages represent two projects on this theme undertaken by HWTMA:
This initial project comprised three educational workshops. These workshops were the first dedicated events for organisers and educators working with maritime, marine and heritage related issues. In order to stimulate further events, the workshops aimed to develop networks for sharing practical ideas and experience beyond the workshops. The success and high demand of the workshops demonstrated the need to extend this work further to enable the effective dissemination of information and research results from ASLF funded projects to a wider public audience.
This project involved three residential workshops aimed at educators, postgraduate students and teachers, two speed networking events to maintain and develop networks and contacts, and a stand at the Education Show in Birmingham to raise the profile of educational resources generated through the ALSF.
