The British School at Athens is delighted to invite UK school teachers to attend a free virtual CPD course, focusing on the OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation module ‘Myth and Religion‘. Participants will follow a series of four virtual lectures, introducing the main themes of the module and providing new case studies beyond the GCSE syllabus. By the end of the course, participants will have a sound working knowledge of myth and religion in Classical Athens, helping them to teach this material to students with confidence.
Teachers can participate in this course via ‘Zoom’, for which registration links will be available c. one month before the course.
