CORFU IS BEAUTIFUL, AFFORDABLE AND SAFE!!

Programme for 2003


Due to the political and military uncertainty in the Mediterranean region, in 2003 the School presented a reduced curriculum in a week-long series of sessions that took place 18-24 June.

To maintain continuity with the highly successful inaugural School in 2002, a more modest event will occur on 18-24 June 2003. Features of the original programme will be retained and a field class to the nearby island of Paxos is added.
