DPC Reading Club - Heritage Narratives

Check your local time for the event here.

Our DPC Reading Club in December 2025 will be hosted by our Head of Workforce Development, Dorothy Waugh and examines how a digital heritage project in Mexico has empowered local communities to share and promote their heritage. This month's article, which was published earlier this year, explores the value of participatory, inclusive approaches to heritage preservation. We are looking forward to fun and thoughtful discussion, and warmly encourage you to bring along your favourite festive treat!
