The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation launches this year the Summer Academy for Children, inaugurating in this manner its collaboration with the Summer School in Homer of the Department of Greek and Latin of University College London (UCL), University of London. The Summer Academy courses will run for one of three weeks between the 3rd and 21st of July (Week 1: 3-7 July; Week 2: 10-14 July; Week 3: 17-21 July). Participating in each week will be three groups of 15 members each, aged 10-14.  

 

Exhibits from the Collection of Antiquities of the Cultural Foundation, as well as heroes from the Homeric epi provide the source of inspiration and experimentation for an interactive educational experience. The children will be the protagonists of a short film which they will put together themselves through role playing, improvisation and dramatization.

 

The daily programme will include creative teaching of Homeric epi in translation, creative writing based on Homeric epi and training in animation pixilation techniques. At the end of the week, each group will create its own short film on a topic inspired from Homer.

 

Hours: 08:00-2:30

[Three two-hour courses (90 min) and two breaks (45 and 30 min)].

During the first break, free breakfast will be served.

 

Participation fee amounts to 100 euro per child (15% discount for siblings).
