Education

Enlightenment is an essential aspect of the Legio X Fretensis Club’s activities. We organize interactive educational booths at various events and provide professional lectures. Additionally, we run the "Living History" club annually, aimed at offering children supplementary education with a historical focus. Our professional educators also offer online consultations and lessons on history for any topic!

Living History

Living History is a children's history club affiliated with the Legio X Fretensis Club, based at the Kalininsky District Youth Creativity Center in Saint Petersburg. The main branches are located in Saint Petersburg and Moscow.

Our creative association is focused on fostering children's interest in history, unlocking their creative potential, and ensuring their harmonious physical, moral, and ethical development.

Each session consists of two parts:

• Theoretical (lectures, visits to museums and themed exhibitions)

• Practical (fencing, archery, recreating ancient household items and weapons such as shields, swords, armor, belts, coins, and much more)

Here is a glimpse of some of the practical session topics:

• Military: Learn about the connections between 19th-century Russian and Ancient Roman armies, and participate in making weapon replicas.

• Artistic: Discover the history of jewelry and fine arts, and make replicas of historical jewelry and art pieces.

• Oratory: Learn how to structure and deliver a beautiful speech, and practice public speaking with the help of our expert orator.

• Our students take part in historical holidays, thematic festivals, various tournaments and competitions in St. Petersburg and the region.
