This free practical introduction to astronomy offers you exactly that: a unique experience in which you will actively and participatively follow the same path taken centuries ago by those who began unveiling the secrets of the Universe. All in one unforgettable session. This is not a theoretical class, but a **practical, experiential activity based on learning through discovery**. From the very beginning, you will be the protagonist. You'll learn to navigate using the stars, recognize the constellations visible on the observation night, and understand how ancient navigators and scholars used the sky to measure time, guide their journeys, or predict the seasons. You won't look at a PowerPoint: you'll lift your gaze and use your own eyes. The workshop presents a series of **challenges and tasks**, carefully designed so you can overcome them using direct observation, reasoning, and simple tools like star maps, compasses, or a red flashlight. We'll guide you so that you yourself discover, for example, what phase the Moon is in, which planet appears brightest that night, or how to distinguish a star from a planet with the naked eye. You'll learn by doing, not memorizing. When the moment comes to observe through telescopes, you'll feel something special. Perhaps you'll see for the first time the craters of the Moon, Jupiter's moons aligned like a miniature solar system, or Saturn's rings floating in space. It won't just be looking: you'll know what you're seeing and why. You'll understand how apparent sizes are measured, what an astronomical magnitude means, and how positions in the sky change throughout the night.
