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

  • Input that shaped interpretation or storytelling

  • Contributions influencing how places are understood

  • Young people informing how heritage is experienced

  • Involvement leading to changes in approach

This doesn’t (on its own)

  • Heritage education without connection to place

  • Activity without influence on interpretation

  • Participation where there is no change

  • Cultural work not linked to the built environment

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

Eligibility

You can submit as a client, public body, or project partner — not just a delivery organisation.
