We are proud and delighted to announce the launch of the Our Mythical Education Database, a project that falls within the ERC funded project, "Our Mythical Childhood... The Reception of Classical Antiquity in Children’s and Young Adults’ Culture in Response to Regional and Global Challenges” (ERC consolidator grant GA 681202, https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fomc.obta.al.uw.edu.pl%2F&data=02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7C16a82e858c604449865808d6e717469c%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C1%7C636950484504764355&sdata=N98L6EvoCkfxjFYmzHn66Z588atwokTxn5etceEJNeE%3D&reserved=0). The database may be viewed at https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fomc.obta.al.uw.edu.pl%2Feducation-survey&data=02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7C16a82e858c604449865808d6e717469c%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C1%7C636950484504764355&sdata=h6BhnXeK3d82v7L3hEanLaWqR%2Bs%2FKbuh6BQ9hPayfU4%3D&reserved=0 The database aims to collect, analyse and, where possible, upload a wide range of educational materials pertaining to classical mythology. These include lesson plans, textbooks, quizzes, audio-visual resources and more. To submit a resource, contributors fill out a short template, which is then peer reviewed, and the information uploaded to the website, which is open access and freely available. The database focuses primarily, but not exclusively on pre-college education (i.e. kindergarten and school, or in US terms, K-12), and resources may be from any country in the world and in any language, although the interface language and templates are in English. We are now eagerly soliciting entries to the database. We believe that the database will be of great use to both educators, who will have access to information about resources, and, where possible even the materials themselves, and to researchers interested in the area of classical education. Requests for the template for submissions, and other questions, may be addressed to me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or to Dr Ayelet Peer at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Please feel free to distribute this information widely to academics, teachers, and anyone who might be able and willing to contribute to this project. With thanks in anticipation of your support, Lisa Maurice -- ************* Dr. Lisa Maurice Department of Classical Studies, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan, 52900 Israel.
