Peripheral and suburban urban areas though hosting major urban dynamics and population groups, are often perceived negatively, and have not received the attention of current urban planning and design practices in steering the necessary regeneration. In Portugal, as in other countries, urban development reflects these problems. In research, policy and practice, public space (PS) is addressed as a means to attain a better urban environment within sustainable development, but it also reflects inequalities in its provision and distribution, especially in more extensive and diversified urban contexts. While the recent crises have showcased the importance and potential of PS, they also stressed the urge for these places to be transformed. The main purpose of this project is to understand where and how to redesign PS to deal with transition challenges. The research does this by understanding and reframing the way PS is addressed in the “extensive city” and by discussing with stakeholders its value and potential to contribute to a more sustainable transition path. Through a critical analysis of the public space of peripheral areas in the Lisbon metropolis, the research aims to achieve prospective reasoning to tackle urban change obstacles. Partial goals include: mapping and characterising these public spaces; locating the main challenges and opportunities to be tackled; giving visibility to peripheral urban areas forwarding policy guidelines.

ARECA is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project focused on the relationship between contemporary artistic practices and learning practices. It fosters artistic work as a pedagogical practice in public schools, highlighting the contexts, methodologies and tools used by artists. Its central aim is to empower artists to design, implement and evaluate artistic projects in school contexts, adopting collaborative approaches with the education, cultural, social and research sectors. Its specific objectives are to formalise an arts education pedagogical model, through a participatory process of experimentation and systematisation of learning; to facilitate transnational exchange,networking and training of artists, fostering new perspectives and tools and the democratisation of knowledge; to scientifically support the work. Simultaneously, ARECA contributes to training youngsters to become active citizens, acting and thinking critically. The starting point is Cláudia Dias’ work, Seven Years Seven Plays, in the context of which she and guest artists have been creating choreographic works on subjects such as Europe, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, nuclear danger, language as a tool for female emancipation, or climate issues. The thematic contents of these creations will be the material to work with students. ARECA (2024-25) will take place in Portugal, Spain and France, involving 9 artists as direct beneficiaries, 24 teachers and 150 students as indirect beneficiaries. The artistic-pedagogical experience will be monitored and systematised by ISCTE-IUL, contributing to the methodological deepening, collaborative approach and capacity building of the partnership. ARECA will also be researched by Iscte-IUL as a case study on the relation between the trajectories of artists, learning processes and the development of social practice art. One handbook, 2 scientific articles and 5 performances created by students will be the core outputs to share and disseminate ARECA’ resul...

O Programa TEIP4 desenvolve-se a partir do ano letivo 2024/2025 e é uma medida de política educativa destinada a agrupamentos de escolas e escolas não agrupadas situados em territórios com elevado número de crianças e jovens em risco de vulnerabilidade social, visando garantir a inclusão e sucesso educativo, melhorar a qualidade das aprendizagens e combater o abandono escolar. Investigadores/as do CIS-Iscte participam enquanto peritos externos.

The KiDLE project aims to support the inclusion of migrant children/pupils in new school environments by co-creating 5 intercultural board games and integrating them into a digital gaming pack. The project seeks to build educators' and parents' capacity to use games for children's learning and development, implement the gaming pack through gaming events, and raise awareness about the role of cross-cultural games in early childhood education towards supporting inclusion.
