The city of Gandia is launching the "Summer at MAGa" initiative to bring its archaeological heritage closer to citizens in a participatory and educational way. The project, organized by the Archaeology and Heritage Department of the Gandia City Council, includes free guided tours and family workshops inspired by the permanent exhibition "The Works and the Days".

The activities will take place every Saturday, from June 6 to July 25, and are designed for the whole family. The Councilor for Heritage, Alícia Izquierdo, highlighted that the aim is to give greater visibility to the permanent exhibition, which offers a new perspective on archaeological heritage by explaining the stories and ways of life behind the artifacts.

The initiative proposes a journey through the daily life of Iberian and Roman societies through guided tours of the exhibition, located in the museum's Sala de Dones (Women's Hall). These tours will be complemented by practical workshops related to the activities and traditional knowledge of that era, such as working with esparto grass, natural remedies, gastronomy, or clay.

Carles Miret, municipal archaeologist and director of MAGa, and Palma M. Navarro, representative of the artisanal and ethnographic space La Marellà, the entity responsible for the workshops, participated in the presentation. Navarro emphasized the desire to recover ancestral knowledge and the way of learning through experience, as practiced by the communities that inhabited the Safor region.

The sessions will be held every Saturday at 10:30 AM. All activities are free and require prior registration through La Marellà, either by phone at 622 110 103 or via their Instagram profile @lamarella.espai.

The director of MAGa noted that this proposal aligns with new museological trends that aim to transform museums into living and participatory spaces, where visitors can not only observe objects but also understand the processes and ways of life from the past.
