A3 #heritagechat I think there's a huge opportunity around micro-credentials and the growth of graduate apprenticeship courses to further link heritage orgs to higher education providers. And let's not forget the lifelong learning angle.

A4 #HeritageChat. We also need to deepen skills throughout the sector. Our report #HeritageResponds called for investment in training and skills to adapt and build resilience in the face of #ClimateChange: historicenvironmentforum.org…
Important point about viewing heritage in context and maintaining perspective among other concerns. #HeritageChat
A4 #HeritageChat Heritage is both the unique & the everyday - we've made great strides in 'mainstreaming' approaches to taking account of the historic environment in many different contexts, so we have to know when to balance being part of the chorusline or taking centre stage

Really looking forward to this one! A great set of questions for this month’s #HeritageChat.
We're now able to share the questions we'll use in our next #HeritageChat! Join us on 15 Feb, 1-2pm here on Twitter, and chat with us about '#Storytelling and #Heritage' 👇
If you are new to #HeritageChat, you can find instructions to take part here: historicenvironmentforum.org…
ALT 1. What elements do you think make a story really successful? 2. What is the potential of digital storytelling in reaching diverse audiences? Can you provide successful examples? 3. To what extent does community-led heritage storytelling involve heritage sites/orgs relinquishing control... and why should they take this leap of faith anyway? 4. How can we prepare to tell stories about ‘dark heritage’? What risks do we have to keep in mind and what can we do to mitigate them? 5. How do you measure the success of your storytelling? 6. Can storytelling be used to track the progress of heritage projects, as a monitoring methodology? 7. How can stories about the past motivate the public to become more engaged with and involved in important issues affecting us now e.g. climate change?

Interesting discussion on what’s been learned from the pandemic regarding innovation in the heritage sector now in #HeritageChat.
A5: Throughout periods of lockdown & uncertainty, innovative ways of working have brought new ways for people to engage with heritage – especially in digital spaces. Blogs & videos provide a helpful way of sharing highlights & insights from projects widely. #HeritageChat
