Mobility and Heritage in the Mediterranean

Tracing past routes, engaging in present challenges, imagining possible futures

Description
The School is based on an intense academic program, as well as several meetings with local associative and cultural organizations, and is strongly committed to an applied approach in order to match the theoretic analysis about mobility and heritage with the public debate on sensitive themes.
