Spring at Sage: Greece

Depart Los Angeles for Greece.

Arrive in Athens and explore the historic center, reading landmarks, streets, and public spaces for clues about how the city developed.

Walk through the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Ancient Agora, then test ideas about power and participation in an interactive democracy workshop. End the day with traditional Greek dance.

Take the ferry to Aegina, explore its town, visit the Temple of Aphaia and St. Nektarios Monastery, then kayak and snorkel along the island’s coast.

Handle, map, and interpret evidence in an archaeology workshop, meet a working archaeologist at Nemea, and explore the Sanctuary of Zeus before wandering Nafplio’s Old Town.

Pass through the Lion Gate at Mycenae, investigate commerce and governance at Ancient Corinth, relax at the beach, and prepare traditional dishes in a Greek cooking class.

Learn strategy and teamwork through water polo, examine artifacts at the National Archaeological Museum, and create a sculpture inspired by Greek mythology.

Experiment with ancient Greek technologies, study the Theatre of Dionysus, and use voice, movement and chorus to perform scenes from tragedy before attending an evening performance.

Return to Los Angeles with fresh questions about civic life, storytelling and shared values.
