Canterbury and the Via Francigena: Promoting Heritage through Cultural Routes is a new project organised by the Centre for Heritage at the University of Kent, with the aim of engaging the public with heritage, including a workshop, conference and volunteering opportunities. The project has already been able to offer bursaries for walking the Via Francigena in May.

As part of the project, a workshop on ‘Value-based Heritage Management in Canterbury’ will be held in the Learning Lab at The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge on 5 May 2017.

The workshop will extend over a half-day period and will be structured to two sessions, the first session asking ‘What is important in Canterbury that needs protection? Why is it important?’ and the second session asking ‘How to protect and manage Heritage Sites? How to involve local communities’ participation in decision-making processes?’

Spaces are limited so attendance is by invitation only. You may be able to receive an invitation by contacting the organisers directly. If you have any queries, please contact Maria Dimitriou: M.Dimitriou@kent.ac.uk
