 Grundtvig Learning Partnership |
Between August 2010 and July 2012, 6 organisations cooperate in EXARC under the name Zeitgeist.
This
refers to is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age."
About 70 times, someone from one
of the members in this group will visit another member.
The Zeitgeist partners are:
Hunebedcentrum (NL), Coordinator
Archeon (NL)
Bronzezeithof Uelsen (DE)
Camp d'Aprenentage de la Noguera (CAT)
AFM Oerlinghausen (DE)
Fortidslandsbyen Landa (NO)
The project is coordinated by the Hunebedcentrum. Noguera is an educational camp with close links to
the University of Barcelona, the other five are archaeological open air museums. Unfortunately, a
sixth museum as well as a specialist company have been rejected.
