I'd like to compile a list of single words to match up with a photo in a slide presentation.
I'm interpreting this as one word only or do you need a pic too?So, one word of WHY.

Interesting choice of one wordEither

Are you sure it's not KEENS???FAMILY (but my next - sixth - camino will be solo, and hopefully the word will be SOLITUDE)View attachment 69566
I'd never even heard of the film till I came on this site!Without wishing to be seen to be cynical, I would suggest the word "Hollywood". From comments on this site and others, it clearly has had a recent influence. But like most things in life, it's temporal.

My Spanish teacher at school was a bit obsessed with the Camino.
I'm in my 5th class of teaching a university course on "Walking Pilgrimage: El Camino de Santiago" and I'm having a blast! We are full at 24 students and deeply entrenched. I broke down my course into 1) introductions/ me/ them/ university and brief overview on how course would unfold 2) the What : defining pilgrimage, in many faiths, many countries, many ways...and narrowing to Christian pilgrimage in Spain ( but not limited to that ) 3) the Where : covering many of the major routes and beyond, leading to Santiago de Compostela, 4) the Who: Santiago, Knights of Templar, Famous benefactors in history, Celebrity walkers, non-celebrity walkers ( a one line characterization of a few of the pilgrims that left a dent on my heart/sparkle on my soul ) ...and a guest speaker pilgrim. 5) this week I cover the How: from guidebooks, to accommodations, gear, travel, food, etc... resources. Every class had powerpoint slides, lecture, and short videos...
And next week is the "Why" . Aside from my personal insights, and some gathered from others in interviews, I'd like to compile a list of single words to match up with a photo in a slide presentation. I've had lovely responses in the past from this forum in my request for photos, shown in my video " Camino Faces, Hearts & Souls " ...Every one of those students were smiling back at you!
Our final class will include wine, Santiago cake, cheeses, breakfast tortilla... we have a shell for each, a hemp bracelet with shell, and a viewing of "The Way"... ( I know, but they requested it )
So, one word of WHY...
Thank you one and all for the help throughout...

As an academic, I'm somewhat fascinated by your description of this "university course". Where does it fit into an overall program; what assessment is required of the students; and what qualification does it lead to?

I am having the time of my life teaching this course! It is a non-credit course offered to all ages in the community thru a grant program. My class is being audited by the curriculum committee to be offered as a full credit undergrad course in coming semesters. The seats were filled within hours of the online registration and they had dozens more of mail-in registration forms that are now on a list for another session. I plan to walk again this summer late July /end of August, so may offer in September.Those are fair questions. And how does one enroll?
WHERE is that?!Challenge! View attachment 69584
It is currently offered as a non-credit course, but is being considered for an undergraduate full credit humanities...Where else can one touch on Art, History, Architecture, Music, Culture, Religion, Sociology, Philosophy, etc...all in one class?! The current students and curriculum committee are fascinated. ( I do, have Masters Degrees in Teaching, Art, Nursing & Mental Health Counseling...the application and screening process was quite involved ) Assessment is not required in this current class, but will need to be developed and approved once class becomes full-credit.As an academic, I'm somewhat fascinated by your description of this "university course".

Just wanted to say that class sounds like a lot of fun to organize, research and teach. Imagine getting PAID to talk about your Camino to a captive audience?
I AM getting paid...lol Just a stipend and reimbursement of any expenses ( might have done it for free! )
Was it like 'herding cats?'...lolFAMILY (but my next - sixth - camino will be solo, and hopefully the word will be SOLITUDE)View attachment 69566
I do a yearly talk about my latest Camino at out local library each year and get paid a small honorarium. I'd happily do it for free, but being retired now it all helps.Just wanted to say that class sounds like a lot of fun to organize, research and teach.
