Abstract
The transmission of heritage represents a crucial challenge for preserving the cultural and historical identity of territories. This paper explores the application of Design Thinking and Territorial Intelligence as educational tools, based on student projects in this field. By adopting a methodology based on the analysis of student projects, this research combines the principles of Design Thinking, which emphasizes a user-centered approach, with the concepts of Territorial Intelligence, promoting a deep contextual understanding of local dynamics. The results show that student projects incorporating these innovative approaches allow for the development of more engaging and tailored pedagogical methods, while enriching heritage transmission through improved contextualization. The analysis reveals that the combination of Design Thinking and Territorial Intelligence overcomes the limitations of traditional methods, offering a more interactive and contextualized approach. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding student training and the resources needed for the effective implementation of these methods. Student work demonstrates that these tools can transform pedagogical practices and enhance the conservation of cultural heritage. The implications suggest that it is crucial to support innovative educational initiatives and develop training programs for students. By integrating these approaches, it is possible to positively influence cultural and educational policies, thereby fostering better preservation of intangible and tangible heritage at both local and national levels.
