- 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

- Strategic Management of Cultural Projects—CIM DOURO TrainingPublication . Mota, Miguel; Carvalho, Ana; Fonseca, SMSR; Guia, AnaConsidering the implementation of new forms of strategic management in organizations and the development of competencies, training in the area of cultural heritage has become a priority in the CIM (Inter-municipal Communities). The SMART methodologies and Start Up tools allow creating a commitment to the organization in a holistic vision, which is essential for local development. The 19 municipalities of the Douro region, part of the territorial structure of Intermunicipalities Community (CIMDOURO) have invested in the training of their employees with the aim of equipping them for the new technological realities in the strategic management of cultural projects. This training is based on simplification of processes and improvement of procedures, using digital platforms. The e-learning training took place from January to June 2023. Through online training, our goal is to identify the needs of organizations, particularly municipalities, and their territorial identities, developing strategies for managing cultural projects and creating their own action plans. Currently, employees of various municipalities have the task of developing action plans to study or explore new locations or create networks based on the cultural heritage of these places, promoting sustainability and diversity. This study aims to identify what strategic management of cultural projects is and the need for various territories to use different types of action plans to improve their performance. The case study is limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region. The case study was limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region. To achieve this objective, a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 16 employees was directly involved, representing various municipalities working in the field of heritage and culture.

- Motivations of Youth Tourism: The Case of University Students in the Porto and North RegionPublication . Soeiro De Carvalho, Ana Branca; Guia, Ana; Duarte, Filipe A P; Flores, Ventura Enrique Mota; Fonseca, Susana Maria Salgueiro Rebelo daTourism nowadays allows for the development and enhancement of many places and countries, leading to improvements in economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects. It is considered to provide unique experiences to both tourists and the local population through the interaction of different cultures. With various tourism products available, it is essential to identify the motivations and attributes that tourists, especially young tourists, seek and possess regarding a destination. Therefore, we aim to identify and understand the profile and motivations of young tourists/visitors, particularly university students. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) classifies motivations for tourism into two main categories: the first is called Rational Type, which includes concepts such as trust, security, savings, tradition, and modernism. The other is called Affective Type, encompassing curiosity, novelty, sympathy, freedom, and friendship. Currently, young people travel to visit friends and family, for studying or exploring new places, and for the cultural heritage of the destinations. Regardless of the various reasons presented, cultural motivations (such as visiting historical monuments) and motivations to explore new places stand out in most of their visits. The present study aims to identify the profile of youth tourism in Portugal, specifically focusing on young individuals attending higher education, who engage in cultural tourism based on their motivations, behaviours, activities, travel data, and accommodation choices. To achieve this objective, a non-probabilistic convenience sample was used, and a questionnaire survey was developed, resulting in 94 completed questionnaires within the time frame defined between October 1 and December 31, 2022.
- Continuing Teacher Education: Informal Collaborative Teacher Network as a Response to the Emergency Context Created by COVID-19Publication . Mota, Miguel Ângelo Sousa Dias Ferreira da; Cabo, Isabel; Valéria, Cátia; Guedes, Damiana; Lopes, PedroThe COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to the education sector, necessitating a rapid transition to emergency distance learning and highlighting the need to train teachers to maintain educational continuity under lockdown restrictions. In response, initiatives such as “Online Pedagogical Sharing” emerged, comprising short-term training activities aimed at educators and teachers at all levels of education in Portugal. This case study, conducted within a qualitative paradigm, explores how training organised by this informal collaborative network contributed to the continuous professional development and adaptation of teaching practices during the pandemic. It utilised digital technologies to meet the demands of distance learning and improve the pedagogical use of new technologies. The sessions, which took place between June and July 2020, were widely accessible, facilitating a meaningful collaborative approach in the teaching environment. By analysing data collected during these sessions, the study highlights the network’s effectiveness in facilitating collaborative learning and the impact of educational technologies during a time of significant pedagogical change. This work not only documents the immediate response to the crisis but also suggests avenues for future use of similar practices in post-pandemic contexts, emphasising the need for further analysis of the resilience and effectiveness of these adapted pedagogical strategies.
- Foreign languages communicative skills in Secretarial StudiesPublication . Guedes, Anabela; Oliveira, Isabel; Marques Dos Santos, Paula; Antunes, SandraThe aim of the foreign languages teaching is to enable students to further de-velop and use English language skills in general and specific contexts and this aim is always achieved through the practice of the four skills - reading, writing, listen-ing and speaking. As far as speaking skills are concerned, oral assessment and role-play situations are often used by English teachers to assess students’ skills. Students pursuing a degree in Secretarial Studies and Administrative Assistance at ESTGL and want to become successful administrative professionals must be aware of the importance of English in their future jobs and must be prepared to communicate in real contexts. This paper, using a descriptive humanistic-inter-pretative methodology, aims to acknowledge that role-play is one technique a language teacher can explore and to substantiate the Communicative Language Teaching approach used in the Bachelor of Secretarial Studies and Administrative Assistance. We concluded that it boosts students’ confidence and their personal interaction skills.
- The role of teaching institutions to prepare and promote social entrepreneursPublication . Marques Dos Santos, Paula; Guedes, Anabela; Silva, MarisaThis research intends to analyse how Universities must have an important role in social entrepreneurship promotion and in the regional and social sustainable development itself. In fact, it's our opinion that students must be advised how can they start up their professional careers in social area and how they can be competitive in the professional world. Thus, academic curricula and teaching methodologies must give them the basic tools so they can have entrepreneurial spirit and to develop innovative programmes/organizations as well as, at the same time, to contribute for a more inclusive society.
