Introduction
For the educator who hopes to expand students’ learning experience, who seeks new approaches to Cavafy’s poetry. For that educator, “Cavafy goes to school.”
In this workshop for educators, a series of presentations and seminars introduce various thematic units: from visual and photographic depictions of Cavafy’s poetry to the interpretive choices that shape songs based on Cavafy’s poems, and from the creative ways the digital collection of the Cavafy Archive can be used in educational settings, to the many possible interpretive approaches to Cavafy’s poems.
Over the course of two days, the Cavafy Archive’s digital collection is opened to this same educational process, as creative means and methods bring both poet and class to life.
