The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA) launched the fifth season of the Young Archaeologist programme at the Qal’at al-Bahrain Site.

The programme welcomed a group of children of fallen servicemen and children of Ministry of Interior employees, who explored archaeology through hands-on excavation and restoration activities.

The programme will run until January 2026.

H.E. Shaikh Ebrahim bin Humood Al Khalifa, Director of Antiquities, emphasised that the programme reflects the Authority’s commitment to fostering early appreciation for national heritage, in partnership with relevant governmental and community organisations.

He added that the Authority aims to ensure its archaeological and heritage sites serve as learning environments for younger generations, strengthening their sense of identity and belonging and deepening their understanding.
