Sense of Place Programme Launch

This new strand of our development programmes will support museums to identify place-based approaches to their community engagement work. The programme will be launched at Aurora Wellbeing in Worksop, a truly inspiring organisation putting sense of place at the heart of everything they do.

Aurora Wellbeing has understood the value of heritage, art and culture as a means to societal improvement and has positioned heritage as an important driver for improved wellbeing within the charity’s delivery services.  This workshop will introduce the project, focusing on how a sense of place and local identity contributes to individual and community wellbeing.

Delegates will learn how our place-based approach can influence how people feel about the place they call home.

Please note: Doors open at 9.30am for a 10am start.

The morning session will consist of presentations from the Heritage Team and volunteer case studies, sharing the impact of a place-based approach and showcasing what we have learned about the role heritage can play in wellbeing.

12.30pm Lunch

After lunch, delegates will have the chance to join a tour of the Heritage Hub and surroundings.

2.30pm Finish
