This is one of a series of talks arranged by Joined Up Heritage Sheffield.
Heritage is anything inherited from the past that you want to keep safe and pass on to people in the future: places, buildings, landscapes, artefacts, archives, traditions, crafts, stories, songs, faiths or languages.
Sheffielders value their colourful, radical, historic, industrious heritage, but how can we save it for future generations? With no collective voice for the many community organisations, enthusiasts and experts, little interest from decision makers and not much trust or communication either way it has often felt threatened.
So Joined Up Heritage Sheffield was formed to create the country’s first known community-led strategy for heritage and bring major stakeholders together in a Heritage Partnership Board.
Then we had to persuade the city’s movers and shakers that the heritage we love and which makes us who we are also underpins our city’s diversity, economy, education, environment, health and wellbeing.
Learn about that journey – and where it goes next.
