Sandra Silva Marinho (Lisbon 1983) has a Master's degree in Education and is currently
a PhD candidate in Education at Universidade Lusófona - Centro Universitário de Lisboa,
with the project: The importance of sensory and emotional practices in digital well-being.
A Visual Arts teacher in Tavira, Portugal, she dedicates her life to art and education
using innovative synaesthetic approaches. With a background in Design, she brings
a solid project methodology to the teaching of Visual Arts, reflecting the importance
of planning and the gradual construction of ideas and concepts in artistic practice.
Inspired by synaesthesia, she explores the world of sensations, emotions and perceptions,
encouraging students to experiment and interpret art beyond the visual, incorporating
senses and feelings into their creations. This year, Sandra was invited to take on
the role of DGE Digital Ambassador by CFAE Levante Algarvio of QZP 63, in recognition
of her involvement with new projects and her dedication and innovation in the use
of digital technologies in education. As an ambassador, her role is to promote the
responsible and creative use of digital tools for educational purposes.
