Between August 2003 and March 2011, the Outreach team at English Heritage ran and supported over five hundred community heritage projects, offering high quality experiential opportunities to participate to three hundred thousand people from groups, traditionally under-represented in historic environment activities. To pass on some of the wealth of experience accumulated over eight years, the team’s last piece of work is aimed at people involved or interested in running projects to broaden access to heritage and culture.
“Outreach. Engaging Audiences with the Historic Environment” provides a record and analysis of:
- the projects undertaken by the Outreach team
- the different themes and subject matters that can be addressed through community engagement work and the approaches used by Outreach
- outcomes of delivery and the impact on legacy and sustainability
- the fundamentals of delivering community engagement work
The publication demonstrates the value and impact community heritage work can have and the vital role heritage and culture has in empowering people to play an active role in their community, building a sense of belonging and making better places to live.
