This experiential learning programme introduces students to the idea that places are like history books. By observing buildings, objects, environments, and communities, students learn how people lived in the past and how life has changed over time.
Instead of just visiting places, students look closely, ask questions, and collect evidence. They compare past and present lifestyles and understand how geography, culture, and values shape communities. The programme builds foundational historical thinking skills in an age-appropriate and engaging way.
