ABSTRACT
All forms of cultural heritage, whether material or intangible, have something in common: the fact that they have been given meaning. However, there is a diversity of interpretations on the heritage goods, usually depending on the conceptual frameworks and beliefs that are relevant to each person or community. Framing heritage in a single narrative carries the risk of reinforcing stereotypes and attract populist movements. Today, more than ever, Heritage Education needs to offer possibilities for a multiperspectivated understanding by young people and educators about the past and the present, as well as for a progressively grounded heritage awareness. It is intended to reflect on these topics with a glocal focus in some specificities either in the Portuguese or in the Iberoamerican contexts.
