First Exploratory Workshop - Bologna 18-19 May 2021

The exploratory workshop will be organised - through preliminary virtual meetings between the team coordinators - in the form of structured open conversations (possibly in the form of a word-café session) around some keywords and concepts that can help to define intercultural and interdisciplinary differences through a multiple perspective. Participants will be encouraged to initiate joint explorations of research paths and lay the foundations for a common project around a lexicon of religious acculturation in antiquity.
