Classic is modern
Subject: Classical culture
Duration: A school year
Educational stage: Second cycle of compulsory secondary education
The project Classic is modern comprises four independent activities (Etymologies in the street; Mythology, Life is pure theatre; Smiles or tears) and a final workshop (Deus ex machina) with the aim of acquiring more knowledge about classical culture. With the goal of encouraging respect for the differences and cultural diversity which exist in Europe, the pupils have to research the origin of our common culture focussing on linguistic, literary and cultural aspects.
