Wednesday 6th July 2016, 9.30am onwards

This free colloquium is designed for all those who teach aspects of classical culture, whether as a specialist or second subject, at any stage of their career.

We aim to offer a friendly forum for teachers to share good practice and different approaches to subjects, which are popular and key to the syllabus, as well as to network with colleagues from across the country.

Each workshop will encourage participants’ informal discussion. No prior work is required. Places are free of charge, and we shall provide refreshments during the day.
