Description

We are looking for support with completing our build for our new Centre for Archaeological Learning. 

Having recently moved premises, we have been given a metal container which is now in the college grounds and we now need to convert it into an outdoor learning facility to run our Attainment through Archaeology programme. 

 

Training and teaching heritage skills to those with no positive direction, particularly this area of high multiple deprivation. Archaeological Learning develops key meta skills that creates curious, adaptive, creative, collaborative and innovative learners. 
Through archaeology, learners can uncover stories from the past; stories of resilience, adaptation and innovation, that resonate with the present and illuminate the future. 

We will develop an Archaeology STEM learning programme, which will become a key component of the Centre for Archaeological Learning’s curriculum. Growing STEM literacy in a creative and innovative environment that takes inspiration from the past, this learning programme also aims to tackle key issues facing education, the poverty-related attainment gap, inequality and climate change. We will create engaging Archaeology STEM activities for children, challenging skills development programmes for young people and quality Archaeology STEM resources and CLPL opportunities for educators in Dalkeith. Creating a model for delivery and a package of resources that can be rolled out to other communities across Scotland. 

Requirements
We need help with completing the build and this could be sponsorship, technical help, equipment, materials, volunteer skilled trades people, solar panels, electric re-wiring and testing, new windows, exterior cladding, repainting, outdoor classroom layout and shelters, a door, internal and external furniture, or a combination of all the above.

We would, of course, recognise any kind help in all our publicity and social media.
