You can’t move history. You can secure the future.

Engaging youth in cultural heritage. An interdisciplinary AHRC funded project.

This project looks at young people’s attachment to subcultural spaces and the ways in which these attachments are communicated to mainstream organisations such as heritage organisations, urban planners, and the media.
