Working Together Better:  How can the heritage and cultural sectors make a real difference for the people and communities of Wales?
 

The Heritage Lottery Fund, in partnership with the independent think tank, the Institute of Welsh Affairs would like to invite you to attend Heritage Exchange Cymru 2014. 

The event will be an opportunity for colleagues and partners from across the Welsh heritage and cultural sector to exchange ideas on themes and questions which matter most now.  

At a time of continued financial uncertainty and constraint and with economic and social agendas featuring large on the heritage landscape, this event will enable the sector to consider priorities in Wales, and how best to meet them.  With an emphasis on finding pragmatic solutions to deliver aspirations in challenging times, the event will bring together heritage and community professionals to exchange ideas, to challenge, provoke and inspire.

This event is part of a UK-wide programme of engagement in which the Heritage Lottery Fund – with 20 years of investment learning behind it –  is championing the resilience and sustainability of heritage, helping to develop new practice, to survive and thrive and to learn from each other.
