The international participatory school \u00ab\u00a0Human Origins Heritage\u00a0\u00bb was organized in the central part of Java Island for two years by Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana of Salatiga (UKSW) and Mus\u00e9um National d\u2019Histoire Naturelle (MNHN). Its aim is to enable students of various nationalities and academic backgrounds to develop within the framework of this program a short project, with interdisciplinary issues, in contact with the local Sangiran dome communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location and Historical Summary<\/strong>
The Sangiran Dome<\/strong> is located in central Java, Indonesia<\/strong>. Archaeological excavations have yielded numerous Homo erectus<\/em> fossils, making Sangiran a major site for the study of Prehistory.

Research History<\/strong>
The first archaeological excavations were conducted in the 1930s and continued until the mid-1940s. New excavation campaigns have been organized by the Indonesian authorities since the 1960s. Due to its significance, the site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List<\/strong> in 1996.

In addition to fieldwork, research projects also emphasize training. Within this framework, the \u00ab\u00a0Human Origins Heritage\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong> participatory international school has been organized in central Java since 2017. This is a joint initiative of the Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW)<\/strong> in Salatiga and the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN)<\/strong> in Paris.

The ten-day program takes place on the island of Java, split between the Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana in Salatiga for the theoretical component and the Sangiran World Heritage site for the fieldwork approach.

The academic ambition is to allow students from various nationalities and academic backgrounds (prehistory, tourism, sociology, sustainable development, biology, and museography) to develop a short, interdisciplinary research project<\/strong>. This is done through direct contact with the local communities<\/strong> of the Sangiran Dome (residents, guides, students, and local authority representatives).

At the crossroads of scientific, heritage, and tourism issues, the goal is for Master\u2019s level students to develop tools through a participatory approach<\/strong> involving all local stakeholders. This approach aims to reconcile scientific research with cultural, tourism, and economic development at a major site like Sangiran, while preserving the livelihood of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
