Frequently asked questions
1. What is Collegium?
Collegium Occidentalis is a full day of classes, workshops, lectures, discussions, and demonstrations that is open to the public (with reduced admission fees for SCA members). The mission of this event is to further the understanding and appreciation of pre-17th-century history, especially in Western Europe.
Collegium is one of two, large, educational events held each year by the West Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism. The other is the Arts and Science Tourney, which takes place in June. The two events differ in that Collegium is held indoors, in a classroom setting, while the Tourney is held outdoors, in a camping setting. This allows for a wide variety of courses and topics to be covered by each event.
2. When is Collegium?
The next event takes place on Saturday, November 10, 2012. Check-in for students and teachers opens at 8am. Classes run from 9am to 5pm with a one-hour lunch break in the middle of the day.
