2019 Schools
August 2019 - CAMPUS EVA Summer School in Anthropology and Archaeology
The pilot interdisciplinary and interuniversity anthropology and archaeology summer school (Escuela de Verano de Antropología y Arqueología (EVA)) hosted twelve students from La Laguna, Gran Canaria and Oxford University who, from the 1st-15th of August 2019, received training, attended workshops, engaged in talks and accompanied the work of various local, national and international experts.
The school was jointly organised by the Educere Alliance, the Canarian Assocation for Social Anthropology ACA and archaeological firm Arenisca: Arqueología y Patrimonio. Field training was oriented around the Cave of Villaverde project, directed by Arenisca, which offered the opportunity for a research-led field school.

Cueva de Villaverde, Fuerteventura, Islas Canarias, España
La investigación se llevó a cabo en el pueblo de Villaverde, en el sitio arqueológico de la Cueva de Villaverde y en sus alrededores, pero también en sitios de interés relacionados e identificados por los vecinos. Entre los participantes de la investigación se encontraban adultos que participaron en la primera campaña de excavación, adultos que eran niños en el momento de su participación y lugareños con diversos grados de experiencia en primera persona en cuevas. Donde la gente se considera a sí misma como "hecho aquí" o "como si se fuera parte de la tierra", el respeto por su sentido del patrimonio y su identidad es crucial.
