The Future of Maritime Archaeology of Portugal: The Strategy for Socialization and Education. The Example of Cascais

Summary

Cascais Municipality has developed a comprehensive program management and valorisation of Underwater Cultural Heritage. Based on Maritime Cultural landscape epistemology it aims to enable a novel approach to integrated management with a dual goal of knowledge and enjoyment. Within methodological lines of this program have grown the actions related to education. From the theory of actor network – has been introduced the theme in the local community, allowing for public enjoyment in situ but, also, through the educational sector of the Museu do Mar Rei d. Carlos. Other related experiences at sea, such as biology and engineering, have created their own sensory elements, developing forms of communication and awareness under "Lab". Furthermore, within the relationship of identity with memory, we have two shipwrecks with strong historical connections to the Portuguese Armada. This has served as a starting point for awareness-raising initiatives and deeper valorisation of these sites. In addition, we have implemented educational policies following the guidelines set by the Monitoring Committee of the Unesco 2001 UCH Convention. These educational policies will set the groundwork for project growth through the UNESCO associated schools Network and the network of Learning Cities.
