On April 30, 2008, over 130 people attended a special event for the historic environment sector at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff. Members of voluntary organisations together with professionals in the public, private and third sectors debated priorities within historic environment policy and strategy. Workshop sessions produced proposals for more effective partnerships and suggestions as to priorities for action.
Trefadaeth 2008/2, to be held on 23 October in Llandudno, provides an opportunity for the many who could not get to Cardiff – or discovered that the event was oversubscribed – to join the debate. Organised in partnership with Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Assembly Government,the conference will look at progress with a draft Historic Environment Strategic Statement and the reform of heritage protection legislation.
The Heritage Minister,Alun Ffred Jones, AM will talk about his priorities for the historic environment and debate the issues with participants.
Workshops will discuss communications, partnerships, and challenges. Outputs from the workshops will develop the ideas that emerged at the April conference, with the chance to propose action points for government and the voluntary sector.
