Time capsules - a way to pass on heritage

1.     What is a time capsule?

A time capsule is a container in which something specific is stored. They are often found in the foundation stones of buildings and contain contemporary documents such as a current daily newspaper. When one remembers you, one thinks of this object or letter and opens it. So choose carefully what you want it to contain.

·        Take your time to really think about what object you want to use or what it should say in your letter. For who is it meant for your later self, for a friend or even your children?

·        It´s as well important that your capsule is waterproof so nothing gets destroyed.

·        Maybe you can think of a place where there are not buildings planned so you can still find it in a few years.

·        If you don’t want to excavate the time capsule yourself or in the near future you could as well bury it under a building, make sure that it says somewhere visual when it should get opened.
