Great, you’ve decided on your heritage project idea, you’ve completed your research and you’re ready to share your project. You can submit your completed heritage project through our project submission form in the project organisers’ portal on the National Heritage Week website. But first you have to share it with the world.
Heritage for all: Sharing heritage
National Heritage Week 2021 is all about getting as many people involved in heritage as possible. This year, the Heritage Council is encouraging project organisers to connect with a group or individuals in their community who may not feel included in local heritage. Organisers can also take this opportunity to explore an aspect of local heritage that is seldom considered or celebrated.
