The teaching of Goiás’s history, concerning both its districts and its regions, is essential for the people who live there, and it requires especial attention from teachers. Considering that factor and the desire to develop meaningful teaching strategies, this study aims to structure a Basket of Memories (Balaio de Recordações) as a teaching mechanism articulating one’s perception of human beings as the agents of history. We have collected reflections about the building of that educational tool, based on the reminiscences of a center for travelling merchants (tropeiros), from which the municipality of Inhumas, Goiás, has arisen. Our research on literature and documents has given way to reflections about regional concepts, observing the connects both history and memory to heritage education, precisely what has been identified as “new pedagogy of heritage”, characterized by the rupture of traditional aspects of culture transmission and based on Paulo Freire’s ideas and their freeing and dialogical qualities. We expect the teaching mechanism we have put forward will contribute to a challenging teaching, one that is capable of promoting learning situations that enable the understanding of cultural assets and identities, allowing subjects to know themselves and critically comprehend the world by becoming aware of their own history. We believe it is possible to clarify what heritage is by highlighting that it is the result of choices that must be discussed. The Basket of Memories is formed of objects related to the context of the tropeiros, and it is an element that incites our students to become aware of the place where they live. It is in heritage that the combination of region, history and memory is manifested in an expressive, by helping constructing and reconstructing the present.
