World Building Based on Historical Worlds (Faculty-Led Program)

Create a world-building project modeled after the cultural complexity of medieval Spain. Use Southern Spain’s historical and cultural contexts, unique architecture, and enchanting landscape to create compelling characters, plots and settings.

• Spend 10 days in Spain visiting sites and monuments to inspire you to create a multicultural, fictional story during a spring 2024 class in Rochester.
• Visit 4 cities in Spain during winter break (Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, and Granada) and explore sites including Alhambra Palaces and Generalife Gardens, Mosque of Cordoba, and Royal Alcazar, and more.
• An excellent creative opportunity for students with an interest in writing/storytelling, creating interactive narratives, game design, visual media, or film/animation.
