Special Symposia
Introduction
The Department holds symposia on the general subject «Educators and Programmes about the Acropolis». These provide a platform for dialogue between educators with common interests in teaching through our cultural environment. The Athenian Acropolis because of its importance in the curricullum provides the impetus and incitement for educators to proceed with their projects and to develop their own ideas. Thus far eight symposia have been organised (1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004). Proceedings or summaries of the papers given at the symposia have been published.
Participants in these symposia are 150-200 educators and some 15-20 papers are presented each time. The value of the meetings is evident in the multidisciplinary character of the reports. The 150 reports and proceedings comprise today an important and rich aggregate of projects related to the Acropolis that have been applied by teachers.
Over the years reports on some 120 applied projects have been added to the departmental archive.
These definitive results of teaching illustrate and describe in the best possible way the process itself of teaching that has been followed each time. The interested educator is able to find original programmes about the Acropolis and its epoch, which contain new ideas, methods and applications that have been created by colleagues with the same background, the same possibilities and the same goals.
