The Iris Project is an educational charity working to promote access to Classical subjects in UK state schools. It was founded in the belief that the opportunity to learn about the fascinating languages, literature, histories and art of the Ancient World should be made available to all, regardless of background. Through various initiatives, it seeks to awaken and nurture an interest in the Classics by making it accessible and appealing to a broad audience.

If you would like to be involved in the outreach work, please contact us through the website at www.irismagazine.org.
