OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This event is a celebration of the great classical cities, and areas of the school will be themed on different ancient sites! All visitors will be given a passport which they can get stamped for visiting the different regions, and will also be able to follow our artefact treasure trails across the school.
All ages are most welcome to attend – there will be activities and events suitable for every age range.
From 3.30 – 5.45pm there will be activities, stalls and exhibitions, a walk-through lost cities exhibition in the Library and the opportunity to see our artefact mural trails. There will also be live music and drama performances, including the award-winning UNMYTHABLE.
We are also hosting the following talks from authors and experts:
3.15 – 3.45 – Michael Scott, broadcaster, presenter and author of From Democrat to Kings and Delphi and Olympia
4.15 – 4.45 – Natalie Haynes, broadcaster, presenter and author of The Ancient Guide to Modern Life and Amber Fury
