VII Classical Studies Symposium

The VII Classical Studies Conference will take place for the first time in the Algarve (University of Algarve/Research Centre in Arts and Communication), following the success of the previous six editions held in the Azores.

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 sessions will take place at the João de Deus Secondary School in Faro.

The colloquium will be certified as a short-duration training course.
