As part of the hub project’s ambitions, we aim to create an innovative platform for the sharing of knowledge and experience between the current sub-projects operating in Tanzania, Peru, Costa Rica and Ukraine as well as previous GCRF funded projects.
It is hoped that the opportunity to learn from each sub-project through a series of conversations and mutual dialogue will offer peer-to-peer discussions on a series of topics and themes. Facilitated by the University of St Andrews and the Global Cultural Heritage Hub Consolidation Project, we seek to inspire partnership working, share knowledge, increase our capacities as researchers and build sustainable relationships between the different countries and regions we all represent through this Global Conversation series.
All project researchers are encouraged and welcome to attend and take part. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us via GCRF_CultureHub@st-andrews.ac.uk
