The British School at Athens invites applications for a new four – day intensive course for school teachers of Greek civilisation which will explore the history and archaeology of Athens through site tours and evening lectures by visiting scholars. The course will cover a number of key subjects in the A level Classical Civilisation & Ancient History syllabus including: Athenian democracy, Athenian Imperialism, the Persian Wars, Greek architecture and sculpture. Participants will be guided by experts around the Acropolis and its slopes, the New Acropolis Museum, the Agora and Pnyx, the National Archaeological Museum, the Piraeus, and during a day-excursion to the great Pan-Hellenic sanctuary at Delphi.
The course fee of £440 includes accommodation at a hotel in the historic centre of Athens, travel between sites, some group meals, and a resource pack with further reading, plans, and study materials; participants must organise their own flights to Athens.
Further information and an itinerary can be obtained from our website (www.bsa.ac.uk), and application forms should be emailed to the Assistant Director by 8th April 2013 (). Applicants should also note that they are eligible to apply for travel bursaries from the Gilbert Murray Trust.
