The United Kingdom and its People

When we talk about culture in the United Kingdom, we often think about afternoon tea, the royal family and fish and chips. Whilst these things represent aspects of Britain’s history and values, we can gain a much better insight into the country’s people by looking at the development of culture alongside ‘subculture’. What did Punk say about the political climate in the 1970s? How did the rave scene come about in the 1990s? In this session, students will learn about significant trends in British music and art. We will also explore how Britain’s multicultural nature has influenced and enriched society.

Halloween is approaching and it’s time to get dark! Great Britain has a fascinating history of witchcraft and magic. During this spooky session, we take a look at the famous Pendle Witch trials, fairies (often considered to be spirits of the dead), folk remedies (like eating spider webs to cure malaria) and some very odd superstitions! We will explore the question of where folklores and superstitions come from and talk together about how they differ across cultures.
