The Grandmas’ Ark is based on the legacy of popular 'mestras', revealed by the Project REduF. It seeks to know forms of family education, knowledge and values transmission in an informal and sometimes ritualised way. What place did learning to read or write, oral transmission, and rites and gestures related to work occupy? What specificities were found, particularly in female education? The project aims to learn about practices, contexts and contents of informal learning within the family, in rural and city contexts. The investigation adopts the perspective of ethnohistory, with the collection of objects, memories, gestures and practices. The approach is that of oral history, with the collection of interviews with elderly people or their descendants, who have kept memories and or objects of that education. We prioritise the municipalities of Murça, Vila Real and Porto based on elements already tracked and others that will emerge. They will be crossed with elements collected in the contemporary literature of the narrated facts and in archives. As a result, it is intended to publish three articles, one of them in English, and to hold an exhibition at CITRIME-Murça, in the last 4 months of the project.
