It consists in a tour based on the routes, which were made by erudite and intellectual 19th Century people, who visited the historical building of the *Universitat*. This will take place on Friday at 12:00 pm and at 6:00 pm, and on Saturday at 12:00 pm; and another complementary activity that consists in guided free tours to *La Nau* exhibition.

**The EHD: joint action for culture in the EU**

The Council of Europe launched the initiative in France in 1985; the EHD became a joint action with the European Union in 1999. Since then, the EHD has become the most widely celebrated participatory cultural event, which every year to over 30 million citizens of Europe visit over 50.000 monuments and places through this activity  in the 50 countries party to the European Cultural Convention.

It has multiple aims. For example, raise the awareness of European citizens to the richness and cultural diversity of Europe, foster the intercultural dialogue, counter the racism and the xenophobia, and encourage greater tolerance in Europe, or inform the society, the public and political authorities about the need to protect cultural heritage against new threats.

This programme has two perspectives. On the one hand, it has a local dimension, related to the territory heritage resources valuations and it provides the opportunity to improve the knowledge and promote the material and immaterial heritage of every region; and, on the other hand, it presents an European dimension that aims our common heritage, enriched by the great cultural European diversity, a common heritage that builds an economic resource and social link, of intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding.
