The Athena Award
Studying the Ancient World is about much more than just a interest - it is about learning lessons. Ancient Greece and Rome - with all the successes and failures - have always been an inspiration for revolution and change in our society.
The 2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals are the current plan for developing better societies and a better future. We encourage students to find inspiration from the Ancient Civilizations and learn those lessons by connecting them to one or more of the SDGs. Below are the winners and finalists for this competition.
