Cultural heritage and historical competences: foundations for a proposal of didactic intervention in Portomarín
Abstract
Cultural heritage is what people identifywith and with what people build a sense
of territorial belonging and social charac-
terization in front of others. Given that pa-
trimonial education in a non formal con-
text allows for the development of social
competences, such as the construction of
inclusive forms of identity, this study in-
tends to lay the theoretical and methodo-
logical foundation for the future design of
a didactic proposal that encourages social
participation and awareness of those who
live in and visit Portomarín (Lugo): a Me-
dieval village in The Way of Saint James
which disappeared under the waters of a
reservoir, inaugurated by Franco in 1963.
Understanding buildings and immaterial
heritage, the present and the forgotten, the
marginal and the outstanding in new Portomarín, demonstrates the role of educa-
tion in the recovery of memory. A didactic
intervention was designed aiming to let in-
habitants of Portomarín and visitors know
that the village they live in was moved
from its original location and it has very
little to do with the old one. This knowled-
ge seeks to facilitate the construction of
a form of identity involving the whole
neighborhood together with the historical
archeological remains and the memory of
the process.
