Get involved with Craftwell workshops
A University team led by researchers at the Department of Archeology and the Department of Health Sciences are running a study called Craftwell. Craftwell aims to find out more about how linking students to outdoor archaeology-based activities might benefit students' health and wellbeing.
The study involves taking part in one of two workshops (bead-making or pottery-making) at the York Experimental Archaeology Research (YEAR) centre. These two-hour workshops will be held on Wednesdays at 2pm.
If you wish to find out more and are interested in taking part, please complete the expression of interest form below.

One Planet Week
One Planet Week (OPW) runs every year during Week 6 of Spring Term to celebrate and share the University's sustainability knowledge and research to staff, students and the wider public. OPW aims to provide a platform from which to promote awareness, and share knowledge and actions on sustainability to staff, students and the wider community.
Our theme for 2023 was Land and Nature and our timetable of events for the week featured a range of events. We had talks, workshops, competitions and social events all related to our sustainability theme and open to staff students and the wider public.
