Abstract
Relating the cultural heritage and the geology of a territory allows the population to get closer to this science, which, in most cases, it is not well known. In Unesco Geoparks, interaction with the population and local entities is essential to establish development and conservation projects, especially in unpopulated areas. For this reason, outreach activities are essential. This work presents two workshops carried out in two churches, located in the Valdelucio Valley of the Unesco Las Loras Geopark, as an example of geological dissemination around cultural heritage in an area with a high rate of depopulation. This type of activity offers locals and visitors a new geological perspective of the environment that combines with the cultural heritage and enhances the value of the area.
