Common learning outcomes
International outlook and global responsibility
In this three-day event –
one of the world’s first of its kind (as far as we can tell, the first was held
in Tampere in 2019) – we will jointly read Edmund Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590/1596) and embark on
a wild ride through a world of knights, dragons and magical creatures. We will
thereby return poetry to its origins of being recited and enjoyed communally.
