Oral Memory Workshops

Oral memory workshops are spaces for contrast and debate and they are also frameworks for the construction of collective identity through the exercise of oral memory, especially thanks to the senior members of the community.
Conceived as a space to share knowledge through the experience of the components of the community, these workshops will serve to recover and value, from a participatory perspective, the direct knowledge of the members of the community group.
This will have a positive impact on the task of revitalizing the ecomuseum, incorporating into its action dynamics the knowledge stored by the members of the community to which the ecomuseum belongs.

Objectives

The workshops or seminars on oral memory have a multiple objective

• Recover and enhance the memory of a specific group in relation to the history and heritage of its region as geographical and cultural space.
• To value the identity of this group with respect to itself, contributing to improving the social and cultural self-esteem of the citizens by recognising the values of its memory and its heritage experience as a group.
• Preserving the cultural and heritage memory of a community in order to preserve it for future generations.
• In line with the above, to convert the experience and heritage memory of a collective into a social, cultural and educational value among the youngest, making this heritage memory and educational value likely to be enjoyed by the general public and especially by the school segment of the community.
• To encourage curiosity and interest in the members of the community in their own history and in the values of their heritage.
