Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations 2025: Routes to Resilience
Join us at the Scotland's Community Heritage Conversations 2025 hybrid conference to explore resilient futures together.
Date and time: to
Location: The Engine Shed Forthside Way Stirling FK8 1QZ
Organisation: Scotland's Community Heritage Conversations
People are at the heart of community heritage, and the health of our cultural, built, natural, and archaeological heritage is intricately tied to the passion, dedication, expertise and energy of the people who care for it. But in the face of ever-growing pressures, how can organisations remain resilient, and access the support and resources needed to create sustainable futures for community heritage?
Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversation 2025 wants to discuss routes to resilience, whether through engaging with funders and exploring alternative income streams or accessing and utilising our existing assets and resources to strengthen existing ties and reach new audiences. We will hear from organisations who have built their capacity in creative ways, celebrate the wide variety of activities undertaken by community heritage organisations, and consider how we can continue to deliver a resilient, vibrant and inclusive future for all.
About Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations
Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations (SCHC) began in November 2020 as a digital re-imagining of Scotland’s Community Heritage Conference, bringing together volunteers, community groups and heritage professionals to talk about and tackle some of the largest challenges facing us as a sector.
SCHC was developed to provide an engaging and and approachable forum for sharing experiences and opportunities, discussing emerging policy and practice, and supporting one another through new and innovative solutions. The conversations are delivered through a partnership of Historic Environment Scotland, Archaeology Scotland, The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, the Scottish Council on Archives, Scottish Community Heritage Alliance, Scottish Civic Trust, Scottish Community Tourism (SCOTO) and Heritage Network.
Previous Conversations have explored capacity building within grassroots community groups, looked at adapting through digital, discussed exciting new ideas in youth empowerment and examined the connections between heritage and wellbeing.
