Meetings and Workshops

Meetings are theoretically focused events, with presentations/lectures and discussion groups. These are open and of interest to a broader audience. Workshops are practically focused ‘working together’ gatherings for staff of the Archaeological Open-Air Museum with the aim of exchanging insight into specific methods and improving each other’s skills/abilities. At every workshop within the OpenArch project, different Work Packages will be addressed, as modules. The workshops and meetings are open for staff and other interested persons from outside the organiser museums.
