The Heritage Alliance (THA) is holding an event to discuss the changes to Historic England and ways in which more people can become involved in caring for heritage, to be held on 11 March in London, but please note that priority will be given to Alliance members
THA writes
From 1 April 2015, English Heritage becomes two organisations: the English Heritage charity which will manage the 400+ properties and Historic England which will retain the role of statutory advisor on the historic environment. Historic England would like to involve more people in caring for our heritage and in understanding it, starting with very young children and including people who don’t have much to do with their historic environment at present.
The future Historic England would like to talk to Heritage Alliance members and the independent heritage sector about the best way to develop a new education and inclusion strategy. It would like to explore: what Historic England could most usefully do itself and how it could support and facilitate work across the sector.
The Heritage Alliance’s Inclusion and Learning Advocacy Group and the future Historic England Education team would therefore like to invite you to an open discussion from 1400-1630 on 11 March 2014 at the Churchill Room, Goodenough College, London. The session will be chaired by David Souden, chair of the Inclusion and Learning Advocacy Group (and former Trustee) of The Heritage Alliance, and a director of the Heritage Education Trust. Please come and let us know what you think, even if you are not an education specialist. We’re not looking for education and inclusion expertise as such, although of course we’d really like to hear about work your organisation is doing of has done in those areas.
