The project “iDanha. New links, new creative historical readings” was one of the winning projects of the 2023 edition of the Programa Promove – O Futuro do Interior. This is an initiative of the Foundation ”la Caixa”, in collaboration with BPI and in partnership with the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).
One of the project’s proposals is to get to know Idanha-a-Velha since ancient times through virtual reality (digital applications).
The project invests in an innovative way in local tourism and culture, including the production of a documentary on the history of the ancient city. It is also planned to hold a community festival in this Historic Village, an important and significant National Monument that is part of the network of Aldeias Históricas de Portugal.
The project is led by CEIS20 and has relevant institutional participation from IEM – FCSH, and also from the Municipality of Idanha-a-Nova and the League of Friends of the Parish of Idanha-a-Velha.
Close coordination with local communities, local economic and cultural agents and leading companies is one of the strengths of the work proposal.
