Active & Physical
The sessions are almost entirely active with young people taking part in the historical activity by learning the skill and then doing it.
 
Role Play & Drama
The sessions are fully immersive by having the young people act out set pieces, become historical figures and role play alongside the ‘in-character’ instructors.
 
Compare & Contrast
The backbone of the sessions in young people using information and role play to examine differences and similarities both between historical cultures and our modern world.
 
Creativity & Problem Solving
The sessions are characterised by the instructors setting the scene and providing props, equipment and resources for young people to explore their own problem-solving and creativity. The outcome is fluid every time!
