Join Vassilios Spathopoulos of Glasgow International College on a journey around the world and into the past, to learn the secrets of celestial navigation used by ancient travellers. The Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Vikings and the Polynesians will teach you how to use the stars, sun and moon to find your way across the sea. This workshop is for absolute beginners, he says, with no prior knowledge of astronomy required. “If you find the sky fascinating and / or you like a bit of history, then sign up, this is for you!”
