This volume explores innovative ways of opening up classical languages and cultures to educational and museum audiences.
It shows that classical subjects have an important role to play within society, and can enrich individuals- lives in many different, and perhaps surprising, ways - from improving literacy and engagement with reading, to empowering students to understand and use new types of vocabulary, discovering the personal relevance of ancient history and the resonance of ancient material culture and stories. Contributors demonstrate that classical subjects can be taught cost-effectively and inclusively by non-specialist teachers and in non-traditional settings. In their various ways, they highlight the need to rethink the role of Classics in twenty-first century classrooms and communities. Recommendations are made for further development, including ways to improve research, policy and practice in the field of Classics education.
