Sextomario was created based on a calling to teach History in a pleasant and entertaining way, without giving up the basic contents that form part of our values and culture, through a broad catalogue of educational workshops and games. With this focus, the workshops strengthen skills such as paying attention, memory, psychomotor skills and coordination, while youths learn about a wide range of aspects from our past and, in turn, reflect about our present. SextoMario is made up of professionals who have earned advanced degrees in Art History, History and Archeology, possessing excellent resumes with training on the history and archeology of Cordoba. Moreover, they possess a great deal of experience in the field of teaching, which allows them to offer those who take part in their workshops with extensive, diversified information on the history and archeology of our past, always in accordance with the requirements of the topic at hand.
