Methodology
The methodology is based on active didactics and will seek to promote meaningful learning in the participants, while adapting the contents and practices of the course to their interests and needs. A spiral curriculum will be followed to allow participants to delve deeper into the different topics through the interrelationship and practical application of the theoretical knowledge covered throughout the sessions. To this end, reflection and debate will be enhanced throughout the reading of theoretical references, the contributions of the speakers, and the analysis of real experiences, all the while proposing activities that allow reformulation of previous knowledge and consolidation of new ones.
The course is based on a Moodle workspace that will allow access to materials and activities, as well as communication tools. Four of the five sessions will be held online via the Zoom platform. They will combine theory and practice, in such a way that participants can consolidate the content provided by experts from different areas through dynamics and exercises. These will contribute to developing their abilities towards the final goal: designing a didactic unit or activity based on a memory space that motivates your students and encourages their participation and critical thinking. The last session will be in-person, with a site visit to La Model former prison in Barcelona, where participants will get to know in first-hand the memorial proposal in order to take it as a source of inspiration for the final work.
