Heritage Debate 2020: Young People and Heritage

Editor News

The recording for our Heritage Debate 2020 is now live. This year we discussed the topic: ‘Young People and Heritage: Creating Lifelong Supporters?’ and explored how young people engage with heritage, and how the sector can support and empower these young people to become advocates for heritage into the future.

If you missed it:

  • Catch up on the full recording here
  • Watch the fantastic keynote keynote speech from 4 of English Heritage’s Shout Out Loud Young Producers here
  • And find an insight from our event sponsor and corporate partner Ecclesiastical into their recent youth and heritage research study here

We also encourage anyone interested in the topic and hearing from young people themselves to read the 12 blogs submitted from 16-24 year olds that we’ve published. We announced this week that Isobel Moody won the random draw for her blog on her experiences of heritage in Milton Keynes. She’ll receive an iPad thanks to Ecclesiastical.
