to reflect on the participants’ own cultural identity;
to identify common elements in relation with the other cultures;
to be able to create together using the past to prepare a better future;

Methodology
The course will be based on the principles and practise of non-formal education and is conceived to allow a learner-centred approach based on active and interactive methods. Participants need to self organise part of the activities and thus take a personal responsibility for their learning process. They should be open for an experiential learning experience.
Specificity of this course
The symbol of the city of Cordoba and its long inter-religious history will be used as an educational tool. Intercultural activities will be organised using different techniques and methods linked to communication tools like: languages, arts, food, traditions, advertising, as well as to the five senses.
The participants will be divided into 4 groups according to 4 subjects:
The Art of Living (Art de vivre)
Thinking (scientists, philosophy, Schools etc.) (La Pensée)
The Political power
The Economy (commercial activity)
They will have to make a research about the topic, how it was in the past; and they will have to prepare and organise one active performance to provide these discoveries to the other participants; each topic needs to be crossed by two themes: the place of the women and the religion in each of this 4 topics in the past in order to be used during a debriefing and to reflect on today’s reality.
