Reverberate: english heritage: Dec 2020
Reverberate provided support for 14 grass roots organisations around the country to enable young people (aged 11-25) to explore their heritage through locally-based projects. The programme enabled projects that re-discover, re-imagine and re-create local heritage through creativity, and share their vision with their communities.
Urban Wilderness CIC led photo walks with CAFAG youth club to discover what heritage means to young people living in the shadow of an abandoned coal mine.
