Interior and kaleidoscopic landscape - The metamorphosis of an action in the context of the Educational Service of the Escola Superior de Educação do Instituto Politécnico do Porto/Municipal Council of Maia

Abstract

Through this reflection, we challenge ourselves to disassemble an educational proposal that started out in a post-pandemic format, and in the setting of an institutional partnership, grew, blossomed, and underwent transformations until it reached the current moment.

The proposal is called “Interior and kaleidoscopic landscape” and it was conceived for the context of UIVO 10 - illustration exhibition in Maia, by a team consisting of three professors of Visual Arts from the Porto Superior School of Education, and a student of the Degree in Visuals Arts and Artistic Technologies, carrying out her internship in the headquarters of the institutional partner, Maia Forum.

This partnership made it possible to create a tailor-made educational program in order to understand and integrate the specific characteristics of the community.

An excerpt of this project was selected for “Fórum Interno” in May 2021, as an example of the collaborative work that has been carried out. The article is dedicated to developing the aforementioned project in detail, reflecting on the scientific areas in which it is inserted and framing the global project of “500 anos do Foral da Maia” in what is the beginning of a multidisciplinary research project.
