This course will explore the world of the Celts from earliest times (800BC), through the classical eras of Ancient Greece and Rome, to Medieval Ireland and Wales and then on to Celtic revival politics in the European Union. Who were the Celts? What did they believe in? How did they live? What legacy have they left to the modern world? We will seek to discover something about the richness of Celtic culture with its poetry, myths, dance, music, and mystery as it developed and changed through time.

Run your Group: Choose a secretary to liaise with WEA and your tutor, a Discussion Leader to chair meetings, a reporter to take discussion notes to send to your tutor, and maybe a librarian to look after the books.
