Heritage
Working on a project where children and young people have influenced how heritage is understood, interpreted, or connected to place?
This category is likely a good fit.
This category is about interpretation — not just learning.
What changed as a result of their involvement?
This includes work where children and young people contribute to how heritage is explored, interpreted, or connected to the built environment.
Their input might influence how stories are told, how places are understood, or how heritage is experienced.
The focus is on projects connected to real places, where their involvement has informed outcomes.
What this includes
Input shaping how heritage is interpreted or presented
Contributions influencing how places are understood
Feedback affecting how stories are told
Involvement informing how heritage connects to place
What counts
If children and young people influenced how heritage is understood or experienced, it counts.
This counts

If your work spans multiple areas, choose the category that best reflects what changed.
