So we're at a local school in Leicester today teaching Ancient History and Archaeology to a group of students
to give them an opportunity to learn about the sort of ancient past,
as it's not really common for it to be taught in schools normally.
So we work in partnership with the national charity Classics For All
who are working to reverse the decline in the study of classical subjects in schools.
So the aim of the Classics For All program is to enrich the lives of young people.
So I feel like the students are benefiting from this program
because it's given them an opportunity to be a bit more curious about their cultural heritage.
It sort of gives the student an opportunity to learn about a shared culture and history
and inspire a curiosity for them to learn about it more in the future.
So this internship benefits me personally because I'm quite interested in the education sector
and that's something I want to go into the future and from this internship I'm learning a variety of skills
whether that's teaching in front of a group of children,
teaching children in smaller groups of different backgrounds and ages.
So it's a great professional development opportunity for students.
They have access to a programme of mentoring and training which helps them to develop a range of skills
which are really useful for careers in Education, Heritage Management, Archaeology, almost any career in fact.
