The CAN periodically organises courses and seminars related to Nature, research and artistic expression.
For 2009:
International Cookery
Course 09
From 6th to 10th
July. Teacher: Cesca Gelabert
A course aimed at everybody who
would like to pick up original ideas and skills for good,
healthy and varied everyday cooking in a friendly
atmosphere.
The course will be based on
Mediterranean cooking enhanced by a wealth of influences,
including those of the residents who have passed through
Farrera (from a total of over 40 countries). The contents
of the course revolve around: healthy cooking, traditional
cooking, cuisines of the world and fast or improvised
cooking.
'A meal can become a celebration
involving all the senses. The result depends on us, it is
in our hands. After these few days, I would like you to go
back home with more ideas and more means to realise
them'. (Cesca Gelabert)

Previous courses: Seminar on Morphology
Between 1999 and 2002 the Can has organised four seminars on Morphology: Nature, Form and Creation; The Forms of Water; Air and Form; Light and Form. This seminar arose from the consideration that form, as a consubstantial element of natural reality or as a cultural expression, is an element of study and knowledge common to various artistic practices and scientific disciplines.(See publication)
