The Young Classicist's Award Symposium is our event for the presentation of student projects. For 2019 and 2020, this event took place in UCD.
In 2020, at least 200 students had the opportunity to meet Classics students from at least 11 different schools from Kildare and Dublin.
Students had the opportunity to look at other students' work and to attend the presentation of student PowerPoint presentations and performances.

There was also a workshop provided for students by Access Classics - www.ucd.ie/classics/study/accessclassics/. They brought some Ancient artifacts from the UCD Classical Museum - www.ucd.ie/classics/about/classicalmuseum/. Students were given the unique opportunity to hold and examine object thousands of years old, learning through touch rather than via a textbook.
