What is it about?

The researchers selected one mainstream heritage site and one alternative heritage site in each of the consortium member countries (UK, Latvia, Croatia, Georgia, Turkey, Spain, Slovakia, India and Germany) to carry out qualitative investigation of the representation of young people’s experiences of engagement with conventional and alternate forms of cultural heritage.

Why is it important?

The researchers examined the political and practical limitations of elitist and historically static understanding of European cultural heritage by unpacking its underlying politics of cultural selectivity, with reference to “heritage in the making”.

Perspectives

Different countries have a distinctive historical, cultural, political and social background that has shaped the experiences of youth and influenced various aspects of young people’s engagement and relationship with cultural heritage.
