The activity, which has brought together participants from various countries, is part of the complementary project Artes Docendi - and this year also the complementary project Rewriting Myth, both from the CECH (Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies of the University of Coimbra) - and is aimed at secondary and higher education students. It aims to promote a taste for Classical Studies by addressing themes from the ancient world and, consequently, how these topics manifest themselves - or persist - in contemporary times.
The colloquium will be certified as a short-duration training course.
Since Classical Antiquity, the city and the countryside have been inspiring tópoi for poets, artists, historians, geographers, etc.
The theme of the 8th edition of the Classical Studies Symposium is ‘The city and the countryside in Classical Antiquity: representations and legacies’, and we welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations on this topic.
These may relate to various fields of the social sciences and humanities, such as literature, history, philosophy, geography and fine arts, and may extend to other chronological periods beyond Classical Antiquity, provided that this period serves as the starting point.
All proposals must be submitted using the following form by January 31, 2026.
