Design of a virtual museum as a strategy for valuing the historical and cultural heritage of fishing communities;MARE researcher – Centro de Ciências do Mar e do Ambiente

I will present and discuss the results of my PhD research for the co-construction of a virtual museum making use of technologically enriched environments. This museum will be centred on the Fishery Arts, departing from the fishing communities’ formal and informal cultural heritage. It will be a collaborative work between students and their families, coordinated by myself. The main purpose of this project, framed by an intercultural perspective is to give visibility to these fishing communities, invisible to the mainstream.

I expect the exchange of ideas and experiences for a broader understanding of what is happening in the area of ​​curricular innovation, namely in digital technologies and their appliance in History learning.
