Early Islamic Civilisation
Embark on a drama-filled journey to ancient Mesopotamia, where some of the world's earliest civilisations began. Here, nestled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, you'll see how the thriving city of Baghdad was formed. Together with your One Day facilitator, step inside the circular city walls to discover the libraries, markets and leaders that made this historic metropolis such a hub of wealth and knowledge. But... what happened to diminish its epic power?
What schools say
“The children really liked that they were given the chance to create their own interpretations and drama scenes, as opposed to just sitting and learning. They also really liked the amount of teamwork and drama opportunities they were given. The member of staff in the session has said how interesting and interactive the content was and that she would definitely encourage us to have the same event next year.”
