ANCATL symposium on the teaching and learning of Australian deep time histories

The Australian National Committee for Archaeology Teaching and Learning (ANCATL) is excited to announce our inaugural national symposium themed on the teaching and learning of Australian deep time histories.

The symposium will be held online on Monday the 14th of April, 2025 (9:30 am – 1:30 pm AWT; 11:30 am – 4 pm AEST) and will be free to attend for all pre-service and in-service teachers nationwide.

The 2025 symposium will feature two interactive sessions. The first will be presented by experienced teachers from around Australia, showcasing some of the many current approaches to teaching Australia’s deep time histories. Participants will hear a wide range of ideas for classroom learning activities and broader pedagogical approaches, including common challenges and how these have been resolved.

The second session will be a panel discussion focused on different opportunities and approaches to bringing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and perspectives into the classroom, led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators from different states and territories.
