Presented by the  Universidade Gama Filho, the study Educando Para Preservar: O Museu Como Construtor da Memória Histórica - Educating to Preserve: The Museum as a Constructor of Historic Memory, by Amanda Teles de Oliveira, aims to study the relationship between museums and the teaching of history as a branch of patrimonial education, which enables the construction of the individual's historic memory.

This relationship is observed in the possibilities and methods of valorizing Local History (in the neighborhood of Piedade, in the Rio suburbs), developed as part of research conducted by the Centro de Memória Universitário Gama Filho, the site which houses the history of Universidade Gama Filho and the Piedade neighborhood. The study generated methodological practices geared towards teachers and students who make up the scholastic body of the surrounding schools. These methods are being put into practice in municipal schools by the Universidade Gama Filho as part of the extension project 'UGF em Ação'.
