This event is designed especially for teachers, and their students, who would like to learn more about ancient Greece and Rome. We’ve put together an entertaining schedule of informative presentations on aspects of Classical Civilisation and Ancient History for you and your students to enjoy over a Saturday afternoon. Come and meet people who love the ancient world including other teachers, students, lecturers, and celebrities. We’ll also tell you more about how to fund the introduction of these subjects in your school. This event is part of the Advocating Classics Education campaign (click here to read more about it). We’re delighted that the legendary Natalie Haynes, of BBC fame, will be joining us and will be presenting her own brilliantly witty take on the ancient world. We’re looking forward to seeing you there! It’s free to attend please simply register at Eventbrite by clicking here. If you have any queries then we’d love to hear from you: aceclassics@kent.ac.uk
