Did you know that democracy (the system of government where people get to vote for their leaders) was invented in Greece? So was the alarm clock, the Olympics, capaults, coins, medicine, maps and showers. It's known as the "Cradle of Western Civilization" for a good reason! How would you like to journey virtually to Greece and experience layers on layers on layers of amazing history for yourself?
My name is Tim, and I'm heading to the eastern European country of Greece and the Middle Eastern country of Turkey to see what life was like in these places many thousands of years ago... and today. Plus, together with Reach the World Travel Club members, I want to help students like you experience living history by our side by investigating the things YOU are interested in learning more about.
Want to know whether Zeus was really a big deal? We will show you around enormous temples built in his honor. Hungry to try some Greek or Turkish food? We'll be your eyes, ears and taste buds, and report back on what we try. Curious what it's like to walk along the edge of a massive volcano? We will join your class for a video call from Santorini so we can take in the view together. Your curiosity is our mission.
This Journey to Greece and Turkey runs from October 21-29, 2024, and is best experienced live. To learn more and join the expedition, email [email protected].
