brief program

The Cultural Landscape or Cultural Space of Las Médulas is located in the Bierzo region, province of León, in Castilla y León. The result of Roman intervention in order to work in gold mining (through the ruina montium system) over two centuries and the changes experienced up to the present can be seen in this territory. It has been protected in terms of heritage since 1931 as a Historic-Artistic Site, although in the mid-1990s it was recognized as a BIC Site of Cultural Interest and at the end of this decade it was also endowed with environmental protection as a Natural Area. Its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997 has been a turning point in the conservation, research and enhancement of this territory that has great landscape and heritage value.

Despite its enormous interest and potential, Las Médulas does not have a fully integrated tourism support system, with important shortcomings that will be raised as objectives of the workshop.

The work teams will carry out different intervention projects in the cultural landscape of Las Médulas, with the aim of consolidating the tourist systems, in accordance with the possible needs raised by the Las Médulas Foundation from an objective and real point of view.

 

teaching organization

The participation of a maximum number of 40 students is proposed, coming from the different universities that are part of the network and who will join the workshop. In order to organize the work of the project topics in a balanced way, the enrolled students will be divided into teams composed of participants coming from different Universities. The supervision of the work of each team will be overseen by teachers and tutors.

 

The teaching method provides:

- the organization of mixed groups by origin of teachers and students to encourage discussion on themes and approaches to the project from different perspectives.

- the participation of representatives of the territorial management and protection bodies, Fundación Las Médulas and General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of the Junta de Castilla y León, as well as entities and interested parts in the elaboration of project strategies to allow students to connect with the varied framework of knowledge, expectations and needs of the inhabitants and local operators.

- the participation of technicians, architects and archaeologists from the heritage management and protection organizations of Las Médulas and its surroundings.
