Who is this workshop for?

 

This workshop is suitable for people working or volunteering for small heritage organisations based in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland. We are using the National Lottery Heritage Fund definition of heritage types, which are available here. Organisations may be charities, limited companies, volunteer-run or part of a Local Authority.

 

We ask that only 1 delegate per organisation applies to attend.

 

The course will be delivered on Zoom. In order to participate, delegates must have a working internet connection, ideally have a working webcam and must have a working microphone. Both sessions will include a number of template exercises for you to work through – so joining from a laptop or PC is essential.
