Democracy Experiential Workshop Activity on Pnyx hill, Athens

Great way to learn about what is democracy, where the people where gathering in Athen to discuss. We did this in the morning followed by a tour and was perfect . My kids were 12,10,8 and they were all super engaged. The facilitatore was very good.

My family very much enjoyed the "Democracy" experience. Really set the stage for our exploration of Athens & environs. The role playing and activities were exceptionally good. Brought the ruins to life; then and now. Highly recommend!

Very good organization, carefully designed program for high school students, the teachers well trained with understanding of the needs of children, with courtesy and patience.

Great fun being Athenians on Pnyx Hill! Eleneora was really lovely and engaged our Ancient Greeks enthusiastic child really well! We were lucky to be the only ones in the workshop and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend and really want to come back to do the philosophy workshop one day!

I was very pleased to have organized and participated in an engaging and highly experiential workshop on ancient Athenian democracy and its lesson for today. Facilitated by the enthusiastic Renia and Alexi, I watched as the group of university students that I had brought from Toronto, Canada, who did not have a background in philosophy, classics nor political science, become willing to actively listen and participate in the workshop was illuminating. I appreciated the clarity of the instructional materials and case study scenarios and the opportunity to perform historically signifiant roles, thereby giving students insights into Athenian social organization and political and civic life. The various activities, including one in which involved testing students and staging a competition on their knowledge acquisition of the various monuments and relics at Pynx Hill was enthralling. Hellas Revival was a pleasure to work with administratively as well. Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience with the family to immerse ourselves in the history and the site. My daughter and my mom both loved it.

We attended the workshop about democracy on Pnyx Hill with a group of young guys and girls(16-22yo), we were really happy and we recommend the experience!

We did the Democracy program in Pnyka and had a fantastic time!!!! The organization was perfect and the people wonderful!!! We played and learned through games information that we had never heard before and we all had so much fun, adults and children!!! The most interesting and fun thing you can do in Athens!!! Thank you very much!!!

Amazing experience, we all loved it! It is a fun and educational activity and I highly recommend it for families with teenagers as ours. My son proved himself a great orator, while my daughter surprised us with her solid arguments. It was definitely the best couple of hours that we spent together as a family in Athens.

Unique and authentic experience, we got substantial information on how politics evolved until the birth of democracy 2500 years ago, and then we acted as citizens, spoke and took decisions and voted on ostrakons! Olga was an amazing instructor she makes it look as if we knew many things already. The place is also wonderful, it is the real location where the ancient people gathered to vote, right opposite the Acropolis with great view.
