PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

This groundbreaking symposium will deliver a crucial and dynamic international exchange to explore the issues, thinking, experiences and practices needed to support innovative leadership in the heritage sector.  With contributions from a line up of distinguished speakers including:

 

Doudou Diène, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and xenophobia, who will open the symposium with a keynote speech addressing heritage and cultural pluralism.

 

Aimed at a diverse range of heritage and cultural sector professionals, established and emerging leaders from within the UK and internationally, the symposium will create a thought leadership platform with the strategic objective of stimulating, championing and recognising the role and impact of diverse cultural voices on the British heritage landscape.

 

Two critical themes, Cultural Democracy and Cultural Ownership will be at the core of the discussion.  Participants will engage in developing fresh thinking and providing new insights into:

  • International leadership and advocacy strategies
  • Opportunities for inspiring change
  • Techniques for embracing cultural and social shifts
  • Empowering Black, Asian and Ethnic minority narratives and cultural ownership
