To host at creative-links.co.ukSo much more than historyBirmingham Vikings also known as Dahrg de Belne offers much more than historical research and re-enactment of the Viking invasion period of English Heritage. Our experimental archaeology to discover how the
Vikings and the Saxons lived their lives in and around the 10th century has led
to a strong educational team visiting schools, youth groups and museums. Skills
and techniques learnt have been applied to other periods of time including
modern day. A professionally qualified teacher and NVQ
assessor leads the team running courses ranging from general interest to City and
Guilds NVQ level. School visits are specifically designed to provide cross
curriculum support to teaching staff, and are particularly useful for small
groups of special needs children. Outdoor public exhibitions demonstrate the many
arts and crafts of our ancestors as well as spectacular combat displays using
reproduction weapons. Since the groups formation in 1991members have devised and
run many courses for children and adults providing life long learning in topics
as diverse as calligraphy, textiles, leatherwork, small business set up, and
information technology. Contact:
