Cultural heritage: Granton at the seaside
14th December – 10am – 1:30pm
This project, a collaboration between Universities in Edinburgh, Paris, and Madrid, in addition to granton:hub and Edinburgh World Heritage, explores:
-How we can balance new development with the protection of cultural heritage.
-How local people make cultural heritage.
-How this making can improve lives.
-How the edges of cities hold them together.
The days leading up to the event, a wide range of community representatives will share views on why and how these ‘elements’ are valuable – as heritage in Granton, but also to the city of Edinburgh and the world beyond.
In addition, school teachers, after-school providers, and workers in further and lifelong education, will also explore their contribution to local learning.
On Saturday 14th December, we shall be sharing our discussions with the general public through an exhibition.
We would like to invite anyone to come along and share their views.
