LEARNING FROM
SUCCESSFUL HERITAGE INITIATIVES
Invitation to a
Programme of Free Visits
As a follow-up to
local meetings and our successful one day Conference on Culture,
Identity and Sense of Place held at Rheged in December 2006 the
International Centre for the Uplands – Cumbria has organised a
series of visits, sponsored by LEADER+, to enable sharing of best
practice and practical experience on setting up community based
heritage projects.
The first visit is
on the 27th June and will be to the Maltings Art Centre and the
Flodden fields project. The next trip is on the 12th July and is to
focus on the poetry path at Kirkby Stephen and then on too Little
Ashby and Maulds Meaburn.The third day will take place on the 17th
July and head to Nenthead mines, continuing onto Threlkeld.

Visits timetable
The objective of
our Programme is to arrange visits between different heritage groups
in the North of England to exchange information. We have designed
these visits so that collectively, over the whole programme, they
will cover all the subjects necessary to prepare and provide a
Toolkit on how to set up and manage a community heritage projects.
Thus although our hosts at each visit are enthusiasts about their
own specialist subject, we are primarily visiting to learn the
common problems faced by heritage projects such as Objective
setting, Project Planning, Seeking support and Advice,
Interpretation, Marketing the project, Health and Safety, Retaining
community control and relevance of networking via Ecomuseum
principles. Thus, for example, we expect farming and landscape
projects and history projects to be of mutual interest and we hope
that participants will attend at least two of our three days.
If you are
interested, please contact Ian at the Centre.
