This highly interactive workshop will try to answer some of the most intriguing questions regarding trade such as:

• How did merchants expand trade routes? What kind of GPS did they use? How did they know where to go?
  
• What international business practices did we learn from them? How did they deal with different currencies, precious metals?
  
• How did they resolve issues with authorities, especially when it came to duties and taxes?
