Online Event: City Tour: The Acropolis of Athens
21 Sep, -
Online Online
SUSUFREE"Discover the ancient archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens on a live virtual tour from the birthplace of democracy and philosophy, and the home of Plato, Sophocles and Thucydides.
You will virtually walk uphill on the Acropolis Sacred Rock and stop above the Herodion, a roman age amphitheatre built in the 2nd century AD which has amazing acoustics and it's one of the most celebrated theatres in Greece.
The next stop will be in front of the Propylaia (the Monumental Gateway) to admire the impressive 2500 years old Doric columns.
Looking towards the left side you will find the Temple of Athena Nike, a shrine dedicated to Victorious Athena. Athena and Nike were both worshipped there.
Across the Acropolis, you will see:
the Hill of Pnyx, the place where the citizen's popular assembly met to vote when the first democracy was established;
the Hill of the Nymphs with the National Observatory on its top;
the Hill of Ares (Hill of Mars) where Apostle Paul preached Christianity many centuries later,
the Agora of Athens, the market, and the heart of democracy and philosophy as Socrates and Plato taught their ideas.
Walking through the Monumental Gateway you will discover the Erechteion, famous for its Caryatids porch with the 6 lady statues, and after looking at the elegant sculptures you will find the sacred olive tree of Goddess Athena. This tree was a gift to the people of Athens, and you will hear the story behind its appearance.
Your final stop will be the Parthenon, the symbol of democratic Athens, and although all the lines of the temple appear to be straight, the structure is in fact curved. Join this virtual tour and your tour guide will tell you why!"

Online Event: Glenn Wilson Presents: How To Be A Lie Detector
23 Sep, -
Online Online
SUSUFREEAre you intrigued about individual behaviour, can you spot a liar?
Dr Glenn Wilson is one of Britain’s best-known psychologists, specialising in personality and sexual behaviour. Dr Wilson will share his insight on how to be a lie detector, reading the cues to deception in body language and speech patterns.
Modern research into body language, physiological responses and speech pattern analysis puts us in a much better position to spot lies. At the same time, it equips us better to deceive others, if that is our desire or intent. Some personality types lie more comfortably than others but deception is a skill that can be learned to some extent. It has much in common with acting. Both art and science are involved in reading the cues or “tells” of lying and proficiency is important in many contexts, like playing poker, political negotiations, jury decisions and police interrogation of suspects, as well as our everyday dealings with other people.
Join us for a 60-minute lecture followed by a 30-minute live Q&A to ask all your burning questions.

SUSUFREEOn this 'Berlin's Street Art Live Virtual Tour' you will be introduced to the personality, political motifs and culture of the most rebellious artistic circles.
Berlin’s street-art scene has exploded in recent years, and we will take you to the suburbs of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, two of the best graffiti districts in Berlin.
Kreuzberg’s street art scene reflects an alternative vibe and you can find pieces with strong political messages. This district is home to the punk movement and other alternative subcultures.
Friedrichshain’s alternative scene is still very active through this neighbourhood, and it's the district where you can find the most graffiti and tags on water pipes, house walls, and entrance doors.
Berlin's street art is not the product of unruly gangs but instead, an important component of the underground art and culture scene and a form of expression that contributes to the uniqueness and creativity that defines the German capital."
