Learn about major developments in European and world history by focusing on the history of Greece in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The course includes visits to historical sites, museums, research centres in Athens and two trips to Nafplio in the Peloponnese and Ermoupoli, on the island of Syros. Every topic and on-site teaching is related to major world history events; industrialization, nation-state building, WWI and WWII, urban growth, migration and refugee settlement, political change and heritage as well as the recent political and economic events in the European Union. Prepare for a special experiential education trip that students last summer called it an experience of a lifetime.
