Role play in the Athenian Assembly" The aim of this activity is to know how democracy worked in Athens from firsthand. The attendants will participate in a role play in the Athenian Assembly, where they will have to decide whether they attack or not Mantinea, a real episode that took place in 427 BCE. In order to do that, first I will provide a brief description about the functioning of the different mechanisms of the political system of Athens. After that, the attendants will be divided into groups according to the social status and wealth of the people they represent. This will determine their priorities regarding the decision they will have to take. Teaching methods have evolved throughout last decades. In order to learn the different possibilities that Innovative Teaching offers, this seminar will explore how each field can provide ideas that can be applied in other areas. In this way, both participants and assistants will improve their knowledge concerning to how to teach and how to create a better environment in the class, in which students play a more dynamic role. These activities will be held mainly by predoc and postdoc fellows of RCC.

Cappadocian speakers were forced to emigrate to Greece, where they were resettled in various locations, especially in Central and Northern Greece. The Cappadocians rapidly shifted to Standard Modern Greek and/or regional varieties thereof and their language was thought to be extinct since the 1970s (Ethnologue, 15th edition, 2005). In June 2005, Mark Janse (Ghent University) and Dimitris Papazachariou (University of Patras) discovered Cappadocians in Central and Northern Greece who could still speak their native language. Amongst them are middle-aged, third-generation speakers who take a very positive attitude towards the language as opposed to their parents and and grandparents. The latter are much less (if at all) inclined to speak Cappadocian and normally switch to Greek and/or Turkish in their conversations. In his lecture, Professor Janse will relate the linguistic history of Cappadocia and the fascinating story of his search und ultimately discovery of the lost Cappadocian language. The lecture will be followed by the documentary film ‘Last Words’.

Cappadocian speakers were forced to emigrate to Greece, where they were resettled in various locations, especially in Central and Northern Greece. The Cappadocians rapidly shifted to Standard Modern Greek and/or regional varieties thereof and their language was thought to be extinct since the 1970s (*Ethnologue*, 15th edition, 2005). In June 2005, Mark Janse (Ghent University) and Dimitris Papazachariou (University of Patras) discovered Cappadocians in Central and Northern Greece who could still speak their native language. Amongst them are middle-aged, third-generation speakers who take a very positive attitude towards the language as opposed to their parents and and grandparents. The latter are much less (if at all) inclined to speak Cappadocian and normally switch to Greek and/or Turkish in their conversations. In his lecture, Professor Janse will relate the linguistic history of Cappadocia and the fascinating story of his search und ultimately discovery of the lost Cappadocian language. The lecture will be followed by the documentary film ‘Last Words’.
