Activities at the Pattanam Archaeological Site witnessed enthusiastic participation from the young generation.

Students from Kesari Vayanashala Pooyyappalli, a locality closely connected to the Pattanam region, visited the site and actively engaged in heritage learning by observing museum-related activities. Their participation reflects the growing involvement of nearby communities in understanding and preserving local history.

The children interacted with internship participants, engaged in discussions on archaeology, and explored how archaeological materials are studied, documented, and preserved. Such interactions play an important role in inspiring the next generation to connect with cultural heritage and archaeological research.

These moments reflect meaningful exchanges between students, interns, and researchers, highlighting archaeological spaces as living centres of learning, interaction, and public engagement.
