Since the 2022 summer, we have visited three World Heritage Sites in person and visited The Neolithic Orkney virtually. We completed 7 workshops. Thanks to 12 supporters and 25 participants.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Historic Environment Scotland, Migrant Voice, Scottish Refugee Council, Open Aye, Edinburgh World Heritage, New Lanark Trust, Auld Kirk Museum, The Hunterian, UNESCO UK, World Heritage UK, and UNESCO RIELA, whose partnership and support were invaluable to the success of this project.
We invite you to take part in our project if you want to know more about World Heritage, share your ideas about heritage, and participate in creative workshops. Your contribution will help us build an inclusive heritage education and multicultural society.
