Jikke Koning

I am Jikke Koning, 28 years old and I am a classical languages teacher at the Stedelijk Gymnasium in Haarlem. Every day I enjoy delving into ancient texts with students. Texts that stimulate curiosity and raise important questions about past and present, about yourself and others. The subjects of Greek and Latin require a critical eye and empathy. Thus, they have the potential to build bridges. The Europa Ciceroniana project is another good example of this. The project particularly appeals to me because of the cooperation between research and teaching and the international professional didactic exchange. Especially as teachers, we can learn an awful lot from each other!
