Phoenicia:
Education Programme
|
An
adventure for learning and exploration for school students of all ages.
The Phoenicia education programme will build on school students’
natural inquisitiveness, their desire for excitement and adventure
whilst developing their life skills by bringing alive one of the
greatest journeys in mankind’s history. |

Introduction for teachers &
parents
The Phoenicia education programme offers an
opportunity to engage young people in the Phoenicia project and an
introduction to the fascinating ancient culture of the 'Phoenician' people.
Whether you want to dip in and out of the project or get more heavily
involved by structuring the curriculum around the topic we hope to give you
a good start with the ideas and resources here.
The educational resources are loosely aimed at key stages 1 and 2 but have
been designed so that they are easily adaptable to suit a range of ages and
abilities. Each activity can be tailored by the
teacher to suit individual classroom needs.

Additional School Resources -
Literature
A wonderful children's book set in the world of the Phoenicians, Milad, The
Voyage to Ophir.
This critically acclaimed
book by Nazam Anhar is the first children’s novel set in the world of the
Phoenicians. A fascinating novel weaving history with fiction where
Milad joins a fleet of Phoenician mariners on an expedition to Ophir, deep
in Africa—travelling the same route re-enacted in the Phoenicia expedition.

Get involved
Whilst this website will provide you with all of the tools to get started we
would very much like teachers and parents to help us develop the education
programme. We believe that by learning from your own individual approaches
to the project we can develop a more exciting and interactive approach to
learning. Please use the teachers blog to tell us about your experiences,
ideas and suggestions. This could be a new lesson plan, some advice for
further reading or comments on the existing material. Click here to get
involved.
