5th INTERNATIONAL JACOBEAN LESSONS AT USC: JACOBEAN DIASPORA
International Jacobean Lessons at USC is a yearly Summer Course of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). The main idea of the course is to approach the latest research on the Jacobean phenomenon to those who have an interested on it. Each year USC professors join national and international researchers in academic lessons about the Pilgrimage, the town of Santiago de Compostela and its cultural heritage, and spread of the cult to Saint-James. The lessons are combined with cultural activities in order to provide the attending people a wider experience that includes a one-day-journey by The Way to Fisterra (the European End-of-the-World).
