Living Heritage in Saskatchewan: A Sharing Series
Join us with your coffee or tea after lunch to learn more about living heritage. Speakers will present a project or discuss their research around this theme through a Zoom conversation.
At a time when we are all experiencing new ways to work and interact in new and remote ways, the HRI and the Living Heritage Research Cluster invite the community interested in Living Heritage in our province as well as students and faculty to join us in a virtual conversation.
The objectives of this series include:
- to better understand living heritage and come to a common understanding of what it can mean in Saskatchewan;
- to encourage sharing ideas and knowledge;
- to create awareness of projects and break down silos;
- to create the potential for common projects and collaborations between researchers and community organizations.
