Embedding engagement: participatory approaches to cultural heritage


Abstract


This article presents the work of the REACH project and its contribution to the EYCH Initiative #9 ‘Heritage for All’. It reflects on the issue of participatory approaches to cultural heritage, focusing in particular on: 1) the REACH repository of good practices, a dataset comprising over 100 examples, European and extra European, of social participation in cultural heritage; 2) the REACH Participatory Framework, developed to provide a protocol of participatory procedures and to support the organisation of local encounters; 3) the future of heritage research, in the light of current discussions about the constitution of a new coordination structure for European heritage research.

Keywords
