I decided that I wanted
to learn more about
civilisations of the past
and about people living
totally different lives from
mine. I could not believe
my luck when I found there
was an actual profession
for this type of work –
anthropology.

Explorer-in-Residence
Learn about local history.
Mission
• Work in a group. Is it important to protect historical
places in your country? Why or why not? Discuss.
• Which places are of historical interest in your
area? Who can you talk to in order to find out
more information? Discuss and write the best ideas
in the box.
• Work with another group. Share your ideas. Are they
the same or different? Which idea does everyone
like best?
