Discover ancient Sumer at the Cambridge Festival!

This event is suitable to children 5 to 12 years old (and their parents!). 

Would you like to live in a Sumerian city? This online event showcases essential aspects of urban life in ancient Sumer (modern southern Iraq), using recent research and authentic sources to create activities for children. How are cities planned? What are the houses like? Where to get food? What to do with the rubbish? 

Participants will be provided with a video, activity pdf worksheet and Zoom joining link a few days in advance of the event. 

Join the online Zoom workshop to discuss ancient Sumer with a specialist, and ask all the questions that come to their mind about Sumerian cities. In the end, you will have all the information needed to decide whether you would like to live in a Sumerian city or not!
