Earlier this week Jayne and Ian went to Kents Cavern to take part in the launch of the Ice Age Europe project. Jayne was invited to perform the official opening buy cutting the ribbon with a flint hand axe...a first surely!
At the same time, via the live-chat feature, there was an interaction with the terminal at the Neanderthal Museum in Dusseldorf by Dr. Angelica Schwall-Düren, Minister for Federal Affairs, Europe and Media of North Rhine.
The project is a new trans-European interactive Ice Age educational game, controlled by a touch screen and connected via the web to famous European prehistoric sites. The game takes young people on a journey to compare Europe today to Ice Age Europe with no frontiers. The system has a live chat feature and an online photo-postcard to connect visitors at these important prehistoric cave sites and museums in Europe.
Kents Cavern, is a founding member of Ice Age Europe (www.ice-age-europe.eu), the network of Europe’s most important prehistoric sites associated with Ice Age human occupation.
It was very exciting for us to be invited and involved in this project - the relationship between Kents Cavern and TTPL goes back many many years and, we are pleased to say continues to grow year by year. A huge 'THANK YOU' to Nick and James at Kents, it was our pleasure to be involved.
