Building on the success of Gateways Into Heritage 2024, the youth engagement team at English Heritage are delighted to invite you once again to join a packed day of fascinating talks, workshops, screenings and performances.

Held at the Yorkshire Museum in the beautiful York Museum Gardens, we’ll hear from Aardman Academy, Photoworks and the Council for British Archaeology on creative projects that have successfully engaged young people in heritage. We’ll also enjoy some fantastic films and live performances from young people involved with the National Youth Ballet, The Spit Game and We Make Culture.

The recipients of Reverberate 2024 will share insights into their inspiring grassroots heritage projects while wide-ranging panel talks will include representatives from Assemblage Collective, The Ladder and Blackpool Community Darkroom, as well as English Heritage’s Young Producers. The day will conclude with an inspiring keynote speech by Community Consultant and Artist, Robin Sullivan.

There’ll also be the opportunity to sign up for a fun interactive workshop or take some time out to visit the English Heritage landmark nearby, Clifford’s Tower.

By the end of the day, we hope attendees will walk away buzzing with creative ideas about bringing more young people into their organisations and have made some exciting new connections.

This will be a full day of activity held at the Yorkshire Museum, which is well serviced by public transport and is fully accessible. Lunch and refreshments will also be provided.

We’re inviting all those across the creative, heritage and youth sectors to learn more about what we can achieve when we collaborate, and how we can work with young people to participate in, and shape, creative projects in heritage.

We hope that you can join us and please do share this invitation far and wide.
