EmCadeamentos is a nonprofit cultural association founded in 2015, bringing together researchers, educators and experimental archaeology practitioners. Its work connects people with history and cultural heritage through participation, hands-on learning and direct engagement with material culture. The association develops educational and cultural projects for people of all ages and backgrounds, including people with specific needs and those from diverse socioeconomic circumstances.

Its services include curriculum-linked and informal educational programs, workshops, exhibitions and heritage interpretation projects. EmCadeamentos also offers live history and historical reenactment, pedagogical presentations, training, consultancy, replica production and educational kits. Its activities span experimental archaeology, medieval fencing and combat arts, and EmCadeamentos Musicais. Through European cooperation, including Erasmus+ projects, the association supports education, inclusion, professional development and the creation of teaching resources.

EmCadeamentos works with schools, municipalities, museums, cultural institutions, local communities and international partners. By linking research, communities and place, it aims to make heritage accessible, meaningful and shared across both formal and informal learning settings.
