Information Session: Art and Cultures of the Mediterranean in Southern France and Morocco Summer shortTREC

Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures
Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.
This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.
Travel
Designed to deepen the understanding of Mediterranean cultures in France and Morocco, the program will begin in Southern France, including Nice and Marseille. It will then continue in Morocco, with city visits that may include Rabat, Tangier, Fez, Marrakesh, and Casablanca. The conceptual model for this shortTREC’s exploration is the MUCEM, an innovative museum in Marseille that proposes a regional Mediterranean identity that links cultures in Southern Europe and North Africa.
Rethink
Regional Identity
What are the implications and limitations of using regional identity to create a “Mediterranean World” model, including such concepts as the Mediterranean diet and garden? How does history, including Romanization in the ancient world, Arab Muslim conquest in the Middle Ages, and modern French colonization of North Africa, affect the culture?
Explore
Synthesize Immersive and Academic Learning
Become familiar with scholarly work on the art and culture of Southern France and Morocco, including medieval and modern architecture and painting, contemporary film, and garden design. Faculty will guide city walks and visits to museums and other sites, provide robust opportunities for student discussion, and mentor student research projects.
