2021: YouTube Mini-Courses to Watch Any Time

By Anna Richmon | Programme Manager

The Latin Programme Online Summer School 2021

From 26th-30th July 2021 we ran the second edition of our online Summer School in partnership with The Classical Association. Over five days, we were delighted to work with over a hundred pupils, exploring all things 'natura' (that's 'nature' to us!) in the ancient world, from animals in Aesop's Fables, to constellations and how we can recognise them, to fruit and vegetables in myth!

Head over to our YouTube channel to watch five sessions back:

Flora and Fauna in Myth with Jonathan Goddard
Forests and Folklore with Charmian Bedford and Rob Gildon
Ancient Astronomy with Jack Ashton
Nature in Epic with Alex MacKeith
Animals in Aesop with Caroline Lawrence
