We've updated our website with some upcoming events for 2018 - including @FossilFestival in May and @cadwwales's archaeology open day at Bryn Celli Ddu in June! More to follow - and we're looking for suggestions for places to bring our "Being In..." pack fessproject.wordpress.com/events/


Some of our team out this morning doing sensory, messy prehistoric art fun with Bournemouth Children's University and their programme for introducing young people to research topics


We'll have a poster and some flyers about our project at this fantastic free conference, coming up on April 13th at Bournemouth University! Book a space today!


While we're here #dorsethour - we'll be looking for somewhere in #Dorchester to host an exhibit of the wonderful things people who use one of our packs create - a wall in a public-facing place would be perfect! Can you help? DM us!


Hello #Dorsethour! After successfully testing and tweaking our fun activity "Being in Dorchester" we're looking for a #Dorchester group, charity, or society to help us get packs to people who would benefit from fun, FREE, playful engagement with the town - Please DM us!


We love this piece from @GeorgeMonbiot - embodies all we believe about the power of community. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


Playtesting - an important part of the develop process for our activities and resources - and here's a #blog post on testing "Being in Dorchester" last week! fessproject.wordpress.com/2018/02/12/pla…


We were very lucky to have the opportunity to stay at the magnificent Woodsford Castle thanks to very generous @LandmarkTrust and their Landmark Futures #furturesscheme - a week of planning, playtesting, & important focused work time for the team ow.ly/ncMl30ikRQF #blog


Very pleased to launch the project's website! fessproject.wordpress.com


Farewell to Woodsford Castle and back to the real world - time seemed to stand still there! Blog post with poems, photos, and playtesting reports soon.

Today we're heading into Dorchester to playtest an activity designed to get people looking at familiar places in new ways - a bit of psychogeography, a bit of creative writing, and very importantly, it has BISCUITS inside

We'll be putting together packs that can be used by anyone - schools, families, community groups, visitors, locals, groups, individuals, young or old - to explore heritage and place in new ways. Our first testing ground is Dorchester!


Very excited to be planning, designing, and testing out our first resources for the project next week - and getting ready to launch the project's blog!
