Abstract
This communication aims to highlight the formative and artistic role of three socio-cultural institutions in the island territory of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal, as spaces that preserve various local cultural aspects while promoting artistic education, inclusion and citizenship from a perspective of education for all — basic elements in the training of future education professionals. Our choice for these non-formal learning environments was based on their characteristics and potentialities, as privileged fields of knowledge and involvement with the local community and culture. In this process, the pedagogical practice evokes the access to education and culture as basic components for the integral development of the individuals — a complex act of dialogues of artistic expressions, meanings and citizenship practices. In order to understand the main aspects underlying the elaboration of the projects of these spaces we questioned the people in charge of each institution as partners in the initial teacher training of the University of Madeira. Of the main results we emphasize that the artistic experience promotes appreciation for the arts, culture and heritage, in addition to promoting cultural diversity. Cultural institutions play a relevant role in education because through them our students have the opportunity to get to know better the local culture and themselves in relation to others, expanding their worldviews.
