Abstract

Results of an intervention in primary education on the Pazo de Meirás, which was the residence of the dictator Franco in Galicia, are presented to guide citizens in the redefinition and transmission of assets. The conflictive dimension of this place makes it a key resource to awaken emotions, develop social and critical thinking, and implement a model of action, defense, and memory recovery among students. To stimulate meaningful learning, the intervention was divided into two parts. The first focused on Meirás, as an approach to a critical teaching and learning model on controversial issues. Next, what was learned about a patrimonial conflict near the educational center was implemented, with intervention in the local community. From a qualitative approach, the potential of the experience and its social impact, as well as the degree of commitment acquired by the students with heritage, was evaluated and measured. The results report that the Meirás model, focused on active learning methodologies and inquiry through debate and consensus, contributes to: developing the patrimonial competence of students; recover local history and memory in a contextualized way with the involvement of the different community agents; and reinforce understanding and connection with the environment.
