The present work presents a proposal to use the concepts and approaches of research and reflection on local history and historical and cultural heritage in the classroom, aiming to create in elementary and high school students a historical awareness about the relationship of heritage - institutionalized or not - with their experiences as historical subjects, in addition to developing in these young people a self-recognition in history and an orientation towards the practical life of Vigia and its communities. It is also intended that the student himself is able to identify and interpret, in his living spaces, elements (material and immaterial) that, in his view of the world, are characterized as heritage. The research and its practical application with the students took place both in the municipality of Vigia-PA, where I reside and develop part of my professional activities as a history teacher, more specifically at the Santa Rosa State Elementary and High School, located in the same village. The name, which, being located in the rural area and receiving students from adjacent communities, allowed the focus of the work to be directed not only to the urban area, but mainly to the rural environment of the city. It should be noted that the municipality has an institutionalized cultural heritage with which, however, our students seem to have little identification, a fact that motivated the development of this work. As a product of the research carried out, didactic support material was developed, intended for use in classes on cultural heritage.
