What’s RACCO doing? 楽古の活動は?

“ Non Profit Organization Historic Experience Support Center RACCO” is a volunteer group that supplies “historic study through experience”.
The main activity is that we provide people with the instructors, staff and tools to study with, when historic experience programs−such as making fire, making curved beads, making pottery are held at schools, community centers and so on. Also, we plan and manage historic experience programs at person’s request
What’s “historic study through experience” like ? 歴史体験学習って?

Historic study through experience is more suitable to understand ancient life history than through textbooks.

Why did we set up this organization? 
設立のきっかけ?


Activities like this have taken place at various museums and in society. Before, if you wanted to try these activities, you had to actually visit each facility.
It is important that museums act as stronghold of study, but in areas which lack museums people there don’t even have a chance to experience history.
Therefore we think, by offering experiences of history, even people who have less interest in history would find it interesting. For that reason we set up this organization
Specific activities of RACCO are as follows…

Giving the study through experience 体験学習の提供
 We hold organized classes of the study through experience, and also offer talents and programs to autonomies and museums as assistance of the study through experience.
