Details

Over the past 18 months, with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Culture and Community Engagement team at the University of Bedfordshire has been on a journey to explore connections between higher education and heritage.

In conversation with universities, arts, heritage, and community organisations nationally, the team has examined the challenges that our sectors face and tested a series of interconnected solutions, with the aim of connecting heritage and higher education in a needs-led and sector-sensitive way.

Join us at our Luton campus on the 23rd October 2024 as we share our findings from this work and launch a series of brand new resources intended to support the development of mutually beneficial collaborations between heritage and higher education.

At this half-day networking event, we will hear directly from members of the Culture and Community Engagement team about their learnings as they lead a series of presentations and engagement workshops. We will also hear insights from the Head of Innovation and Partnerships at the National Lottery Heritage Fund, George Stanley-Jones, as well as representatives from universities and heritage organisations from across the UK.
