Starting and running a school heritage club
What is a school Heritage Club?
This is a school club that brings together students with a common interest in promoting and preserving their cultural heritage. This could be in the form of sharing experiences about their cultural backgrounds, learning about cultural heritage in general, carrying out activities to preserve cultural heritage, promoting and expressing their cultural identity and appreciating the culture of others.
Our cultural heritage may be tangible (crafts, cultural sites, museum artefacts) or intangible (the performing arts, poems, language, etc). This heritage may be visible in our daily lives and in our environment, or less obvious. Through their heritage clubs, students will learn to identify and value both tangible and intangible heritage within and outside their schools.
The club usually operates during extra-curricular time within the school timetable and programme. For a step by step guide click here
