Event / AoU @ Chelmsford Ideas Festival: Heritage, Identity and Place
October 29, 2015 @ 13:30 - 16:00 GMT

This event will explore the idea of a heritage strategy for Chelmsford, considering the links between heritage, identity, local culture and quality of place. The starting point is the recently published Heritage Index produced by the RSA, in collaboration with the Heritage Lottery Fund. The index and wider project are designed to stimulate better understanding of the links between heritage and identity at the local scale. Through a number of short talks and discussion led by Joanna Massie of the RSA and Barry Shaw of Changing Chelmsford, we will explore what people understand as heritage and how we can collectively make the most of heritage to complement Chelmsford’s aspirations to grow its community and economy.
Thursday 29 October, 13.30 – 16.00. Free of charge.
