Objectives
The dynamics of the local authorities in the cultural sector has been increasing with the completion of multiple cultural
facilities, whether we think of libraries and archives or museums or cultural centers and theaters. This proliferation of
spaces for cultural enjoyment and practice has brought with it an inevitable development of cultural offerings, regardless of
the strategies, the identification of recipients and mediators and even the various funding projects. This is therefore a
changing reality, and that differs greatly from municipality to municipality. Bringing culture to the practices of the center of
social life is a challenge for the students.

Teaching method
A speech teacher in each class, allowing an overview of the topic and its consequences historiographical with calls
attention to the large document databases. This context leads to the involvement of students through exercises such as
presentations citation or a reference to the methods and content of the research work. Second, the progress of the
evaluation process, conceiving evaluation as a learning process that allows the use of soft skills to make history.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is structured according to three areas: consolidating (20%), comprising a writing test performed
followed by an oral presentation and justified from a set of citations; construction (10%), constituted by the presence in
class and participation in cultural activities close to the themes of the program; research (70%), followed route of preparing
a research paper from document databases.
