This manifesto argues for the relevance of classics, suggesting ways to enhance its importance in education.
This manifesto was originally submitted into and went on to win the senior category in the 2025 Classical Association ‘Write | Speak | Design’ competition. Through a mix of research and my personal classics journey, it argues that the contemporary relevance and remote accessibility of classical subjects, along with the academic joy they encourage in learners, make the study of the ancient past as important as ever and highlights ways these areas could be harnessed to increase the importance of classics further.
