Building a raft

Out of doors
Workshop
All audiences

The Mediterranean has always been navigable and continues to be so for migration and trade purposes. We'll talk about the history of our sea and the stories of the various people who attempt to cross it to reach Europe from Africa. Meanwhile, we'll try to build a raft and set it afloat with the help of master carpenter Alfonso Sánchez-Guitard from the Nereo shipyard. We'll see if it floats on Sunday November 10 at 10:30 am.
