Workshop: Antiquity reaches society (2–3 July – hybrid)

The "Antiquity reaches society" workshop is set to take place, in a hybrid format, on 2–3 July. Its main objective is to offer classicists concrete tools for the improvement of the way they communicate their results beyond academia. The workshop will include three types of activities: plenary lectures by guest speakers; training courses offered by specialists focusing on communication between academics and policymakers, working with young children and teenagers, and plain language, as well as panels on shared experiences by the participants. 

Further details, the programme, and the Zoom registration links are available at: https://historia.uw.edu.pl/en/workshop-thursday-2nd-friday-3rd-july-2026/.
