The 3-D Modelling and Digital Archaeology Workshop is designed for archaeology students interested in the most recent digital recording methods as well as anyone with an interest in 3-D modelling and aerial imaging. The workshop meets four times in Athens during the semester.

Additional time will be spent on this area of interest during field trips, where you will take pictures and videos using an aerial drone in order to create models and maps on your computer using free and/or trial software.

The Conservation workshop takes place at our Academic Center. Working alongside a conservator of antiquities, you will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of the conservator’s craft by reassembling ceramics and making aesthetic repairs using plaster and colors. Part of the cost of the workshop is subsidized by CYA.

The workshop is designed for law and pre-law students who wish to complement their existing skills and extend their knowledge of legal terminology while preparing for their challenging future careers.

The Ancient Economies Workshop is designed for history, archaeology, ancient technology, economics, sociology and anthropology students interested in exploring the various political and social units of the central and eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Rome, Egypt, Cyprus and the Syro-Palestinian coast). You will have the opportunity to delve through periods of fundamental social transformation from the 3rd millennium B.C. to 330 A.D., (i.e. from the Bronze Age to the foundation of Constantinople) and study land and sea routes, as well as the technological and environmental factors which affected the movement of people, ideas, products, raw materials, knowledge and even diseases.

Posters have become a common way for young academics to present their research and therefore an increasingly popular assignment on undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses. Due to its multimodal form, the academic poster is a particularly challenging assessment, but the Poster Presentation Workshop equips students with all the knowledge and skills they need to create first-rate posters.

The workshop engages students in a variety of hands-on activities that enable them to analyze and practice all elements and processes involved in the creation of an effective academic poster, from writing text and selecting images through to poster design and oral presentation. It will also help students prepare, create, and present successful posters in future professional contexts.

This workshop examines Bronze Age fresco painting and also includes a metals workshop

The protection of heritage in the 21st century: definitions, history, legislation, case studies: the workshop focuses on the history, theory and practice of the protection of heritage – cultural and natural, tangible and intangible alike.

Learning how to make an artistic collage out of fragments of ceramic tiles will help you to understand the painstaking work involved, and to better appreciate the exquisite roman and byzantine mosaics that you will see during study travel at museums and in the open. This workshop is usually offered as part of a Graeco-Roman history course.
