STAFF from a museum in York have been practicing their skills to help them educate young people, as part of a project to bring history to life.
The team from Murton Park in York have been working on their roles in the ‘Living History’ project at the Danelaw Centre on the site.
The project aims to introduce a practical element to history teaching, and it is based on the principle ‘I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand’.
Murton Park have a number of interactive areas, such as a Viking Village and a Roman Fort, on site which schools are able to visit and learn about certain periods in history.
