Teaching method

Course theory and practice, with 50% lecture and 50% hands-on practice. The lectures consist mainly in the critical
evaluation of projects in the country but also internationally, in the analysis of enacted legislation and research on
populations, museums, educational services, cultural practices.
Practical classes focus mainly on building projects with practical applicability in the community, from diagnosis, through
planning, research and development of various project phases, including reflection on the assessment that may be
implemented.
