Education, memory and heritage: educational actions in museums and the teaching of History

Abstract

In this article we show how categories from historiographic production and the field of education provided theoretical and methodological support for a research and further education project that guided the actions carried out at the UFRPE Memorial, a museum belonging to the Rural Federal University of Pernambuco. Based on these references we produce a museographic discourse and a set of educational actions about the past - which are subject to different interpretations by the public - with which it is intended to allow space for the construction of new meanings of the past to the community being portrayed.
