Nuragic Experience: at school for archaeology.
Our workshops are first and foremost tools to enrich and support the educational planning of schools at all levels. They promote relationship building between students and encourage hands-on, direct learning. Our didactic activities are an excellent opportunity to sensitise and engage users and visitors aged 0 to 99 who are discovering Nuragic archaeology for the first time. The basic idea of our didactic offer is that learning is facilitated through play. In fact, what is learnt through play is deeply rooted in the children’s consciousness, as it becomes an actively lived experience.
In this process, the student is not just an observer, but a direct actor. He/she will go through a process of assimilation, alone and with peers, based on participation mediated by places, methods and experiences. Our aim is to encourage the student to build his/her own cultural identity based on an awareness of the reality in which he/she lives. It is important for us to convey the awareness that every judgement and every historical discourse must be based on research and methodological rigour. This is the only way to achieve a true and deep understanding of the historical and social phenomena. The understanding of periodisation will be fundamental. It is an indispensable tool for organising and remembering the events of the past, and it is necessary in order to understand historical phenomena in their entirety.

We believe in knowledge. We know how important it is to create incentives to encourage the younger generation and beyond to sensitize people to the fascination of history and the rediscovery of our cultural roots. Knowing the past means having reliable and precise tools for analysing and shaping the present. A deep understanding of historical events enables us to realise the cultural, social, ritual and naturalistic value of our country. An inestimable value that must be carefully preserved and vigorously defended. However, it is important to take a critical look at the past in order to recognise the mistakes that have made us forget this heritage.

Ancient man:
the Palaeolithic period
This is a series of workshops focussing on one of the most fascinating and mysterious moments in human history, the Palaeolithic period. The so-called “early days of mankind” hold a unique fascination for school-age children, but also for teenagers and older people. Based on the observation of daily activities. The pupils learn about the countless practices of Palaeolithic men and women: Making fire with pyrite (flint), drilling wood with a bow drill, making bowstrings from dried gut, painting like a Stone Age man.
Older visitors also have the opportunity to try their hand at flint knapping, an activity that requires some manual dexterity. Everything is carried out safely and under the supervision of experienced and knowledgeable guides.
Each of these workshops includes a guided tour of the monuments, adapted to the age of the class. An introductory phase is followed by a workshop phase in which each pupil can put the knowledge they have acquired into practice. Each activity can be combined depending on the age group.

The Craftsman Inventor: Construction and Use of the Cord Drill
The creation of tools useful for hunting, fishing and everyday life gave rise to the need for increasingly sophisticated tools, capable of working precisely with very resistant materials. Perforating objects proved to be a fundamental skill for survival and for making tools useful in daily life. Being able to drill and pierce bones or wood was extremely useful. This workshop re-presents the construction and use of the cord drill.
Magically… light the fire
The use of fire represented a breakthrough for prehistoric man. Ignition was possible with the use of flints such as pyrite or flint. These rubbed together directly on the mushroom Fomes Fomentarius and with the help of some brushwood gave life to the flame: for modern man, a magical and fascinating process. For the people of the past, a necessity; for those of the modern world, a fascinating discovery.
Binding time
Ropes, strings, ropes… Palaeolithic peoples had developed various techniques for making ropes and strings. One of these was the drying of animal gut, which, when braided and left to dry, became strong and robust. Participants in this workshop will be able to experiment with making lanyards and ties simply from animal gut.
Prehistoric painters
Real photographs of the past: this is how we define the cave paintings that our ancestors created on the walls of caves and natural ravines. They depicted scenes of hunting and everyday life. Today, we can reproduce that same way of colouring and drawing using natural pigments, spices, which mixed together give life to shades of red, ochre, brown. With the use of the fingers, manual skills and creativity are stimulated. colour takes shape in the hands of the participants themselves, who will go on to create real paintings.
What’s down there
Frottage is a drawing technique based on rubbing. It makes it possible to obtain bas-reliefs by superimposing a sheet of paper, or a canvas, on a protruding surface such as a leaf. With this workshop, we will discover plant species by photographing their plant imprint with a simple crayon. The aim is to combine the historical-archaeological aspect with the naturalistic one, enhancing the natural environment in which the Seleni Archaeological Park is located.
From soil to pot
Pottery has been of fundamental importance since the Neolithic, but already in the late Palaeolithic, terracotta specimens can be found. A large number of terracotta objects, especially pottery, have been found in Sardinia from different periods, particularly the Nuragic period. The production of pottery was a craft activity of primary importance for the people who inhabited the Nuragic villages. This material was used both for common use and for votive purposes, and was therefore more or less worked. With clay, we can now propose the same type of craftsmanship, using simple techniques to make small objects: pintadere, small bowls, glasses, pans.

Little archaeologists
This workshop is designed to be an engaging and interactive educational journey through a real excavation simulation. The children will learn the techniques that archaeologists use to discover and understand past cultures: how they dressed, what they ate, how they lived, what they believed in. With a new and modern perspective, we can analyse aspects and details of the past even better: the life of the nuraghi, their clothing, their diet, life in the community, the burials.

The workshop on simulated archaeological excavations is designed to introduce children and young people to the world of historical archaeological research. It is specially designed for primary and secondary school pupils. The aim is to awaken an interest in discovery and the fascination of understanding something that is no longer part of our everyday reality.
Through the concrete practice of the basic steps that characterise the profession of researcher, the aim is to promote the “spirit of research”, visual and tactile perception and manual skills.

Each phase will last three hours and will focus on various practical activities:
• creation of models of huts, nuraghe and tombs of the giants;
• reconstruction of the clothing of villagers: from tribal chiefs to priests, from priestesses to warriors.
• the creation of tools for everyday life;
In the final phase, however, the Nuragic Man and Nuragic Woman will come to life.
The clothes and tools made during the workshop will then be worn and used by the students during an archaeo-naturalistic visit.

We will then retrace the places where the nuraghi lived in today’s archaeological park of Seleni. The didactic-pedagogical workshop is aimed at primary school children and is divided into five units:
• two-hour preparatory session at the school;
• meetings of the first/second/third phase at the educational institution, each lasting around three hours;
• final meeting in the Seleni Archaeological Park, which lasts about three hours.
Each phase of the workshop can be approached individually, so that an appointment can be created for the specific treatment of a topic.
