Join us as we explore how working together in archaeology and heritage can benefit our communities and overall wellbeing.
‘Connecting Threads: Collaborative Approaches to Archaeology, Heritage and Community Wellbeing’ is a day and half workshop covering two main topics:
- the role of archaeology in enhancing community wellbeing and the dimensions covering the stakeholders’ involvement in archaeology
- how working on wellbeing with communities may foster transdisciplinary approaches between archaeology and the other heritage sectors.
Connecting Threads will involve participants from both the heritage and health sectors in panel discussions and in a wide range of hands-on activities, used in workshop facilitation and more creative-oriented, such as the photography activity ‘Abandonment’. We will work together to implement a preliminary report on dimensions of community archaeology using the Five Ways of Wellbeing as a starting point.
The workshop is part of the Linking Community Archaeology and Wellbeing in the Mediterranean (LOGGIA) research project, funded by the European Union as a Marie Sklodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. LOGGIA aims to understand the extent to which community archaeology practices can contribute to community wellbeing in the Mediterranean context, focusing on the inclusion of vulnerable groups through case study research.
