“Region in motion: migrations and mobility” is the theme of the 19th edition of the Free History of the Algarve Course, which will take place from the 1st to the 29th of June, at the Gambelas campus of the University of the Algarve.
«Due to its geographical position, the Algarve region has historically benefited from maritime routes and contacts between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, despite the fact that for centuries it has been a somewhat peripheral region and even marginalized by the rest of Portuguese territory», explain the organizers.
«The evolution of communication routes, transport and, more recently, the tourist boom, make the Algarve a region of permanent circulation (of people, goods, ideas...), of great openness to the world and intercultural contact» , they add.
Thus, the 19th edition of the Free Course on the History of the Algarve proposes to address, through various sessions led by various specialists, topics such as migration, the development of communication routes and transport, the relevance of the international airport of Faro, the development and impact of tourism, among others.
The sessions of this course take place in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 18 pm to 20 pm, in amphitheater D of the Gambelas campus, in Faro.
Under normal conditions, the cost of registration is 40 euros. Current students/employees of the University pay 15 euros and former students 20 euros. Registration runs until 31 May.
