Intended for all audiences, these workshops combine artistic creation, craftsmanship and public outreach about history, inviting participants to engage with Averroes as a historical figure from a practical and experiential perspective. Through each activity, the memory of an Al-Andalus Cordoba, where philosophy, science and the arts flourished, is revived, while we explore the relevance of this knowledge today.
