Construindo pontes no tempo: estratégias para a implementação de uma educação patrimonial em Abreu e Lima

Abstract

This article aims to propose strategies for the implementation of Heritage Education in Abreu e Lima, using the methodology of literature review based on IPHAN's publications. The project, titled "Inventariar Abreu e Lima" ("Inventory Abreu e Lima"), arises from the need to value and preserve the history of the municipality, promoting the connection between the community and its heritage. Heritage Education is seen as an essential tool to address the problem of the lack of institutions that preserve local memory and the population's lack of knowledge about their own history. The article provides an overview of the evolution of Heritage Education in Brazil and analyzes the historical trajectory of Abreu e Lima, from its colonial formation to its emancipation as a municipality. The proposed strategies involve the participation of students, families, and the community in activities such as surveys, collection, source analysis, and dissemination, with the aim of strengthening the cultural identity and sense of belonging among residents. Facing challenges such as the need for resources and institutional support, it is suggested to use funds from the municipality's Aldir Blanc Law to make the project feasible. The conclusion is that Heritage Education can significantly contribute to the development of various spheres of the municipality.
