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 &
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 available.
The educational resources are available at primary school level
and include a Phoenician Teaching Resources CD.
There are seven historical presentations (Who were
the Phoenicians, Daily Life, Phoenician Colonies, Phoenician Art, Gods
Goddesses and Religion, Travel and Trade, Ancient Egypt and a link to Milad:
the Voyage to Ophir), two teaching plans (Geography teaching
plan of Africa, History teaching plan of the Phoenicians) and classroom activities (Writing messages in
the Phoenician alphabet, Writing and explaining museum labels).
Additional School Resources -
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.
