Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper presents the results of an applied research whose main theme is heritage education. Its idea was based on the observation of different needs’ existence, related to the knowledge and experience of the patrimony, among young people of varying age groups of João Pessoa-PB’s city teaching networks. Thus, its objective is to study the different types of lack among public and, taking the results as support, to elaborate strategies that aid in its learning process on the patrimony. Through these proposals, it is possible to approach and stimulate the buildings and historical urban spaces valorization, in order to contribute to their preservation. To achieve this purpose, a survey of the target audience needs was carried out, with bibliographic research, mapping of educational actions of reference and application of questionnaires. These last ones were applied in Elementary School classes of four schools of the city. As a result, public profiles were created to support the development of strategies according to their particular demands. Once the actions were created, they were tested and analyzed in the classroom, enabling the improvement of their original proposals and generating as a product three heritage education workshops whose themes explore compatible elements with the needs of each traced profile, sharing the ideal in preserving the built and urban patrimony of João Pessoa’s city
