Interdisciplinary Curricular Approach in the Planning and Teaching of Cultural Heritage – Project in a Higher Education Polytechnic Institution, Northern Portugal
Journal Title: Journal of Social and Political Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The importance of cultural learning, in general, is increasingly being recognized in Portugal, not only for its cultural and human value but also for the contribution it makes to local, regional and national economies. This article reports the initial stage of the Project called "NMSCPAM: New Media Supporting Cultural Patrimony of Alto Minho" (2017 – 2019). Teachers of arts, history, tourism and technology of Higher Education and Basic Education Institutions of Northern Portugal, have been developing an interdisciplinary curricular approach in the planning and teaching of cultural heritage, as a way of (re) discover the local culture and create images and educational resources that can be used in diverse contexts. The article reflects on: (1) the use of heritage education as a tool for active citizenship; (2) the service learning model as the path to personal and social identification; and (3) art as a means for ‘re)discovering local culture in a context which is very affected by tourism.
