Impact in Action

Real examples of how our programmes create community benefit:

Working with local communities, we provided training and technology for residents to document their own heritage sites and stories. The resulting digital archive is now freely accessible online, preserving local knowledge for future generations.

Our collaboration with museums enabled the digitization of heritage objects, making them accessible to the public for the first time. Community engagement increased significantly, with diverse audiences now able to explore collections remotely.
