About this Event

Join us for a free workshop led by Katarína Kompauerová, PhD researcher in Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Leicester. Explore disability and difference in the ancient Greek world through fascinating objects, stories, and interactive activities. Discover what ancient evidence can tell us about the lives of people with mobility impairments in ancient Greece, from mythology to historical figures, and explore the different ways mobility impairment was experienced in the ancient Greek world.

No prior knowledge is needed and this workshop is open to people of all abilities. If you have any access or participation requirements, please let us know in advance so that reasonable adjustments can be made.
