Talking Archaeology: Seeking Education through Public Archaeology

     
7:00 PM
Strathcona Branch of the Edmonton Public Library

Speaker: Taydem Laroque

Public archaeology plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between academic research and community engagement. This presentation explores the significance of public archaeology in education, highlighting how it fosters a deeper understanding of historical and cultural heritage. By involving the public in archaeological processes and discoveries, educational programs can enhance critical thinking, promote cultural appreciation, and encourage active participation in heritage preservation. Through global case studies and local outreach, we will examine successful public archaeology initiatives and their impact on educational outcomes.
