​

This course aims to provide participants with tools, ideas and knowledge on how to integrate outdoor education with formal education. This way, students will stay motivated and will appreciate the environment, which will contribute to their personal development. Outdoor education helps generate respect for the natural and cultural environment, to better know a society and to increase tolerance between its people.

​

For this purpose we will have outdoor training focused on the cultural and environmental heritages of Porto and its region, an area rich in gastronomy, traditions, festivals and heritage. By seeing these elements we will learn about how heritage arises and what processes it goes through to become protected, whether natural or not, and how we can use it in a classroom context, which will lead students to assimilate the importance of protecting and disseminating these elements.

​

Some examples of heritage existing in the territory are the costumes, both regional and university costumes, the gold art of filigree, the sounds of bells and guitars, the art of embroidery, Braga's Holy Week, the historic centres of Porto and Guimarães, the gardens and the construction of rabelo boats. Thus, the heritage groups to be seen are heterogeneous and include built heritage, natural heritage and intangible heritage.
