Presenting Rock Art Training Workshop

The RAHMSA project invites applications for a one-week training workshop in presenting rock art sites.
The workshop aims to share experiences of presenting sites and to assess the diversity of perception, uses and practices.
It is directed towards graduate and postdoctoral students, museum staff and heritage practitioners, primarily from the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The workshop will include sites and museums visits, lectures and group work. Working groups will be asked to reflect on the proposed themes, drawing on the participants' own experience, on the workshop visits and conferences. All participants will be invited to put their experiences into perspective and reflect on the issues related to mediation actions in a restitution and a final collective discussion.

The training workshop will take place at the Musée national de Prehistoire (Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, France) from 27 November to 3 December 2024.
 
The training sessions will include (subject to changes):

• Sites and museums visits;
• Individual exercises of presentation of a site, museum or a heritage institution of its country of origin;
• Group work on the following predefined topics:
• Preparation of a final report or a joint summary (web page, activity report) for dissemination.
