Intercultural understanding

Intercultural understanding is central to learning about ancient societies. Students extend their knowledge of culturally diverse perspectives and roles, and learn how these can change over time. They develop an understanding of the diverse societies and cultures of the ancient world and how different ways of life provide a frame of reference for recognising and appreciating intercultural diversity in the contemporary world. They also explore different ideas and contexts, and the influence of ancient societies on other societies, including in the contemporary world.
