Saint Paul University takes the Camino de Santiago

He explains that this route is an ancient pilgrimage route where safety and reflection were once favored for women travelers.

“We will walk and we will stop a few times a day, to have discussions and [procéder] during. It’s a bit like the old-fashioned philosophers did, we will be like Socrates,” argues Louis Patrick Leroux.

History, art, literature, modern issues

Professor and historian Anna-Maria Moubayed will lead the interactive three-credit course with the participation of other researchers and professors.

Anna-Maria Moubayed will combine this physical experience with discussions and teachings on history, art, literature and spirituality, but also on modern issues such as overtourism.

“In Spain, there are really a lot of tourists. For example, during one of the sessions, we will be able to reflect on what it means to be a tourist today, a use of privileges, a responsibility too, when we are a tourist,” explains Louis Patrick Leroux.
