Topics:
- Economic mechanisms: funding, livelihoods, training youth
- Cultural continuity: authenticity, narration, and education of visitors
- Environment–ICH nexus: traditional ecological knowledge in ST
- Case clinic (Mirandela and Azores) + takeaway grid
Key Questions
- How can tourism revenues and activities be converted into predictable funding for safeguarding and intergenerational transmission?
- Which practices foster authenticity without “freezing” the living, evolving nature of ICH?
- In what ways can traditional ecological knowledge enhance a destination’s environmental sustainability?
- Which social, cultural, and economic indicators demonstrate tangible benefits for ICH holders?
Exploring Case 6 Fado
Anchor facts to surface: Fado houses + gastronomy; workshops; thematic walking tours; museum visits; digital complements (AR/virtual).
Guided questions
- Through which mechanisms can tourism revenue support training, apprenticeships, and community enterprises in Fado?
- What makes a curated performance or walking tour educational rather than merely consumptive?
- How can the museum, schools, and houses coordinate to reinforce intergenerational transmission?
- Which indicators (social/cultural/economic) would show that benefits are reaching Fado bearers?
In-class activity (30–40 min)
- Theory of Change Canvas: Starting from the case, map Inputs → Activities (curated shows, workshops, tours) → Outputs (trained youth, informed visitors) → Outcomes (income stability, authenticity, cohesion) → Impact (resilient ICH). Add at least 6 measurable indicators.
Digital activity (30–45 min)
StoryMap Itinerary: In ArcGIS StoryMaps or Google My Maps, design a Fado Walking Route (Alfama/Mouraria/Bairro Alto) with stops, captions, audio snippets, accessibility notes, and a community-approved etiquette card for visitors.
