\n

I was born and raised in Brazil, where my passion for education and creative projects first took shape. I hold a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Languages and Teaching and a Master\u2019s degree in Learning and Communication. Over the past eleven years, I have worked as a teacher while also building experience in academic research, cultural mediation, and project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I applied for the Master in Digital and Public History<\/a>, it was the programme\u2019s interdisciplinarity that immediately caught my attention. I soon discovered that public history thrives on the encounter between different perspectives: not only different sides of history, but also the diverse backgrounds of the people who engage with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the programme, I realised that developing public history projects requires a broad set of skills, and that collaboration across fields is essential. Working alongside classmates from history, journalism, education, design, literature, cultural studies, tourism, European studies, and the film industry expanded my understanding of how far public history can reach. Together, we created podcasts<\/a>, conducted archival research, designed transmedia projects, experimented with research methods, explored project management, hosted a student-led conference<\/a>, and even developed public history games as part of C\u00b2DH projects. Each project became an opportunity to learn from different sets of skills and to see how different disciplines enrich the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme\u2019s interdisciplinary environment not only strengthened my skills but also deepened my conviction that meaningful public history emerges when multiple voices, methods, and experiences come together. With my own versatile background, I have found myself increasingly drawn to the possibilities of public history within education, where I am currently exploring through my research and work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":378,"featured_media":33052,"template":"","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.46,"y":0.55},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"testimonials_person":"Monyck De S\u00e1 Santos"},"testimonial-type":[],"organisation":[171,147],"authorship":[378],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMeaningful public history emerges when multiple voices, methods, and experiences come together - FHSE - University of Luxembourg I Uni.lu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I was born and raised in Brazil, where my passion for education and creative projects first took shape.
