We welcomed began the day with an introduction and Q&amp;A about university life before running our Turn of the Century workshop. This involved the pupils interacting with historical material and objects to learn about and communicate knowledge around life in 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th <\/sup>century Wales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The young people were then split into two groups. Whilst one visited the conservation labs for a tour with Dr Eric Nordgren and some of the conservation students, the other partook in a workshop on Medieval Heraldry. This was designed with the \u2018DeClare Yourself\u2019 team, a group of master\u2019s students on the \u2018Heritage, Community Action and Public Engagement\u2019 module. In this version, pupils were taught the rules of heraldry before designing shields that represented themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a lunch break, we then had a lecture by a PhD Candidate and Graduate Tutor from the school, Clare Parry, who presented her research on Persian and Near Eastern dynastic displays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was then time for a final Q&amp;A and plenary before we waved goodbye to the school for another year. We are very much looking forward to working with Fitzalan again in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some examples of pupil feedback:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>I liked the lecture and shield drawing<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <em>My favourite thing today was making a shield<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <em>I liked designing the shield and finding out what uni is like<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <em>I got lots of questions and answers<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <em>I liked all of my experience and the helpers are really kind<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <em>Discovering that we were all doing the same family in the discovery challenge, because we got to learn lots about the family and put the pieces together<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"post-1472 media-1472\" class=\"image align-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.cardiff.ac.uk\/share-with-schools\/files\/2023\/07\/IMG_5816.jpg\" alt=\"A woman stands at the front of a lecture hall.
