- Co-creation & design ¿ Living heritage routes project: memories itineraries for the city of LamegoPublication . Fernandes, Didiana; Marques dos Santos, Paula Alexandra; Pereira Vieira, Isabel CristinaThe “Living heritage routes” project aims to interpret a given geographical area for tourism - the city of Lamego - based on the visual/oral perceptions and memories of the residents, so that it is possible to create tourist proposals, based on co-creation, that involve the local community, students and cultural agents through the ontemporary interpretation of the space. The project has three istinct phases: 1st survey of the material and immaterial cultural heritage; 2nd elaboration of tourist itineraries and 3rd realization of an event that promotes and divulges the project - through a historical recreation of the space. The main objectives of this study were to involve the local population in projects that aim to recover and promote the local tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We believe that it is possible to create new cultural and artistic products, such as thematic itineraries, based on the image, perceptions and memories of the resident population, which can attract more visitors, improving the development of sustainable tourism aimed at local culture promoting. The methodology of this project, as far as its 1st phase is concerned, went through a qualitative approach, using mental maps, accompanied by interview, as a method of enquiry, in order to understand the local community's perception of their urban space. The analysis and interpretation of the mental maps will follow the methodology presented by Kozel (2007). The results obtained through a first analysis of the interviews and the mental maps, applied to 40 residents of the city of Lamego from four different age groups allowed, in a first preliminary analysis, the identification of new natural and cultural tangible and intangible heritage resources, as well as the identification of several points connected to the singularity and identity of the city and its districts. It was also clear that the connection of residents to their districts influences the way they perceive the city, as well as its symbolic and representational icons. The results reinforce the importance of involving residents, in the cocreation of heritage tourism products, allowing the construction and renewal of the tourism offer in small historical towns

- THE SUSTAINABILITY OF REGIONS AS A CHALLENGE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION - THE PROBLEM-SOLVING METHODOLOGY IN TEACHING CULTURAL MANAGEMENT. THE CASE OF THE 'PORTO COMERCIAL DE CAMBRES'Publication . Marques dos Santos, Paula Alexandra; Daniela Santos; Mariana Lopes; Mónica SilvaTeaching in higher education is a constant challenge, as it requires not only permanent updating, but also the search for and implementation of the most appropriate methodologies that enable the transmission of scientific and technical knowledge to students and their training to apply abstract knowledge to concrete situations in the future profession. The project proposal we present in our paper, was developed as part of the Cultural Management unit’s assessment. Its main objective was to challenge the students to apply the knowledge they had acquired and to develop feasible proposals for the sustainability of the territory and profitability of all the available resources. Therefore, in this paper we present not only the learning path taken throughout the semester, but also the results achieved. The cultural management project proposal for the Commercial Port of Cambres that we intend to present succeeds in transforming this facility into a driving force for the development of the entire surrounding area and, through the action proposal, it will also contribute to tourism sustainability itself, creating synergies between the built cultural heritage and the natural heritage of the municipality of Lamego, located in the Douro demarcated wine region, a world heritage site, since 2001, in Portugal. We also intend to demonstrate how the construction of the cultural management project contributed to consolidating the students' knowledge of the content covered and to increasing their confidence in preparing them for the labour market.
