Learning in place

The house teaches through its details.

Zellige underfoot, carved wood overhead and objects made by local hands: each room can connect history, geometry, design and daily life.

The visit at a glance

A morning with a clear arc.

Each stage changes the pace: orientation, close looking, practical work, then time to talk together.

  1. Welcome

    Find the house in the old Medina.

    We meet the group, introduce the setting and help students read the city around them.

  2. Explore

    Read the rooms and their details.

    Patterns, tools and everyday objects turn observation into questions.

  3. Create

    Work with one material.

    Choose zellige, clay, calligraphy, textile, leather, food or aromatic plants.

  4. Gather

    Close the visit together.

    Tea, a snack or lunch creates time to compare discoveries and celebrate the group.
