Alina Zadorozhnaya-Remarchuk, a methodologist of the excursion department of the museum-reserve, introduced the children to archeology. Under her strict guidance, the schoolchildren removed the artifacts, cleaned them of sand, sketched and described them. The first part of the lesson gave young visitors of the museum-reserve a lot of positive emotions. A 6th grade student of school No. 27 Darina Tkachenko noted: “I really liked the way they told us about archaeologists. We dug out the fragments of the jar, then glued the parts together, and now I know that in the future I want to become an archaeologist.” Dominika Chernigova added that she liked “drawing the artifact and making a description of it”, the press service of the Tauric Chersonese Museum-Reserve notes.

In the second part of the vocational guidance lesson in Chersonese, the restoration work captivated schoolchildren with its uniqueness and the opportunity to touch history. Art restorer Polina Zhukova told the children about the theoretical foundations of the profession, showed the methods and techniques used, and helped to assemble fragments of the artifact. Many students, for example, Svetlana Rokha and Ekaterina Denisevich, noted that “learning the methods and stages of restoration was very informative, and the opportunity to glue the details of a jug with your own hands was interesting and unusual.” The girls had not heard about this fascinating profession before, but after studying at the museum-reserve, they thought about getting an education in this area.

The students learned not only to extract and restore artifacts from the ground, but also to tell visitors about them. A fascinating master class was held by Irina Katkova, head of the museum and educational work sector. The guys felt like guides and tried to get their classmates interested in the story of the Basilica 0972 of the year. Roman Shaposhnikov noted that “it was very informative” that he heard about the majestic monument of Tauric Chersonesus and told his friends about it in his own words.

The goal of the “Ticket to the Future” project, implemented at the site of the museum-reserve this year, has been achieved: many participants liked the practical classes, and someone even thought about connecting life with archeology, restoration or excursion business.
