Digital Material | Creative Educational Approaches to Literary Archives and Research Libraries: The C. P. Cavafy Archive and Library

The Cavafy Archive is livening and enriching the learning experience for school students and teachers, both inside and outside the classroom. Original learning materials, creative exercises, carefully curated examples, and unexpected connections drawn between materials in digital collections, archives, libraries, catalogues, and stores in Greece and around the world all open up new avenues for understanding literary output and the cultural tradition. A series of rounded lessons and learning material dossiers incorporating self-assessment exercises, activities, and detailed teaching proposals, and supplemented with digital materials adapted specially for long-distance learning. And all of it open access – freely available to teachers, school students, and anyone else who might find these materials interesting.

A series of open-access, online Cavafy Archive lessons is to be developed as part of this program.
