Adiós! Auf Wiedersehen!

Yesterday we waved goodbye to the second of two fabulous exchange students who have been working at Butser for the last few months. Catalina from Barcelona and Dennis from Germany found places with us through the Erasmus programme, and were here to enhance their studies on Dennis’ undergraduate degree in linguistics and Catalina’s in heritage. They have been unbelievably valuable to us and both have created an interactive activity for visitors; Dennis’ is a Saxon word game in the Saxon house and Catalina has made a livestock game in the Iron Age enclosure!We always welcome new volunteers on exchange and work experience schemes, and although we may be a little biased, all of our temporary team members seem to have a fantastic time, learn brilliant skills and make friends with everyone. If you’re interested in joining us for volunteering or internships, please contact us at admin@butserancientfarm.co.uk. Here is Catalina learning woodworking skills to build her game – good luck to both Dennis and Catalina in their future careers!
