- Education Crisis—Digital Solutions After Covid-19Publication . Soeiro De Carvalho, Ana Branca; Menezes, Nídia; Fonseca, Susana; Mota, MiguelPandemic effects can generate demotivation and dissatisfaction, or even discomfort, since it is an activity and structure built based on relationships, largely in face-to-face relationships, which make the pedagogical act a moment of interaction and sharing. We are particularly interested in the digital transformation pushed forward by the COVID-19 pandemic concerning higher education students. During a state of emergency, teleworking is mandatory as the work function and classes are compatible with eLearning and homework. Digital Technology looks closely at one significant facet of our rapidly evolving digital lives: how technology radically changes our lives as teachers and students. The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has paralyzed life around the world, reporting restrictive measures (that include avoidance of social interactions and the prohibition of circulation between national and international territories) that were considered non-essential activities like factories, services, and including all the educational institutions. Even Erasmus and International programs were canceled. This research project focuses on the needs and strategies, including the scaling up of investments in Information and communication technologies (ICT) education and training, and efficient management of the well-being of students and teachers. The study was carried out in a higher education institution located in the northern region of Portugal, with approximately 800 students. The methodology used was a documentary, through indicators of student satisfaction and success. Comparisons were made, for both students and teachers, with the homologous situation for the year 2018/2019, 2019/2020, 2020/2021, previous Covid-19, and after this pandemic situation.
- Strategic Management of Cultural Projects—CIM DOURO TrainingPublication . Soeiro De Carvalho, Ana Branca; Fonseca, Susana M. S. R.; Guia, Ana; Mota, Miguel; Carvalho, MileneConsidering 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.
