The project Calhondra, olha o xisto! was born from a reflection on the endogenous resources of Vila Velha de Ródão, and its foundations were laid on the Rock Art Complex of the Tagus river (CARVT). Being an art education project, this initiative intended to explore new perspectives on local patrimony and, at the same time, bring the population to an awareness of the necessity of preservation of cultural and natural heritage. The project focused on the community, since all activities were prepared so as to involve the population and schools of Ródão in this activity. Activities were planned and put together between the months of February to June of 2012, and involved working with local endogenous resources, the rock engravings of the Tagus river and artistic expression. We intend to create workshops whose concepts are based on interdisciplinary activities and dichotomies like, game/education and tradition/cooperation, in order to motivate and engage children and elders in this project, through different artistic practices. Therefore, for the development of the activities and its objectives, we applied the constructivist theory of knowledge, various cognitive theories and creativity concepts. Topics such as nature, biodiversity, historic architecture, legends and myths, and prehistory, among others, became themes which were continuously discussed in the workshops, with the aim of promoting a global education of the participants. To encourage the involvement of older target groups, we chose to build mixed age groups where dialogue and the sharing of knowledge was an important aspect of the activity. Consequentially, the core concepts of the project were: Cooperation, knowledge sharing, and dialogue between generations; producing a series of activities that, through cooperation, address our role in the preservation of cultural and natural heritage
