Interpreting Heritage and Engaging Communities for Climate Change

The three-day workshop on climate change, heritage interpretation, and community engagement seeks to empower participants with the tools and skills necessary to engage local communities in climate action through the lens of heritage interpretation. Participants will explore the impacts of climate change on cultural heritage sites, understand how these impacts may be perceived locally, and examine best practices for interpreting these to diverse audiences. Through a series of lectures, discussions, and interactive exercises, participants will also learn how to develop effective community engagement strategies and work collaboratively with local stakeholders to build climate resilience and promote sustainability. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of climate change, cultural heritage, and community engagement, and be better equipped to create meaningful and impactful projects in their own communities.
