SHARE.ICS #16 Diana Mendes | Project Presentation: Heritage Within Community Reach Through the Use of New Technologies: The House of Knowledge [Casa do Conhecimento] of Vila Verde

 

Abstract:

The research project’s central objective is to understand the benefits of applying new technologies to cultural heritage, with a view to promoting community involvement and, thus, contributing to its safeguarding, communication, valorization and sharing, as well as to the creation of memory to national level. In this context, the research project financed by FCT will be presented, with reference 2024.01190.BDANA, which will develop a process of inventory, characterization and dissemination of the cultural heritage of the municipality of Vila Verde, in the district of Braga. Using new technologies and resources available at the Vila Verde House of Knowledge, the project will culminate in the creation of a digital collection, an interactive cultural map of good practices, a heritage itinerary of Vila Verde, “workshops” and a final exhibition, both physical and virtual.
