Inclusive Communication for the Heritage Sector

Prague, Czech Republic

Would you like to improve your skills to create more authentic engagement with your professional networks? Then this course, led by our partner Inclusive Employers, is for you.

Communication is a key part of working together. Learning to be more inclusive in the way you work will support you to interact more effectively with more people – colleagues, contacts in the heritage sector or members of the public.

Inclusive Employers was the first and is the leading employers organisation providing expertise, advice and best practice to employers, supporting cultural and behavioural change relating to Inclusion, Equality and Diversity through engaging and impactful learning and development programmes.

In this session you will be exploring:

  • What inclusive communications are and why inclusive communication is important for the heritage sector.
  • What inclusive communication means in different contexts including written, verbal, visual and digital, with a diverse range of audiences and stakeholders.
  • The appropriate use of techniques to address unacceptable communications positively and constructively, to make Historic England welcoming for everyone.

By the end of the session, you will have gained the knowledge and understanding of the importance of inclusive communications and the benefits of getting it right. You will have gained an understanding of how to feel more confident in using different methods of communication more inclusively and advocate for inclusive approaches to communication.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
The first European Heritage Summit was organised in London from April 26 to 28, 2006 by Dr Simon Thurley, former Chief Executive of English Heritage. The mission of the summit was to bring together for the first time those responsible for Europe's cultural heritage, to create an opportunity to exchange experiences in heritage management and to initiate joint action. The first summit brought together 23 European countries, who agreed in the summit's final declaration to continue to meet annually in the form of a European Heritage Heads Forum. Each year, future host countries are chosen by mutual agreement at the annual meeting, so that the tradition can continue.
