Our Senior Heritage Inclusion and Engagement Officer Arran Johnson and Engagement Coordinator Natasha Bramall will be delivering a live webinar on archaeology and social prescribing as part of the Council British Archaeology’s This is Archaeology Lecture Series.
Arran and Natasha will reflect on their respective journeys into heritage careers and explore why archaeology can be such a transformative force for good. The lecture will also explore how key concepts such as communality, placemaking, and inclusive practice can make archaeology feel relevant and appealing to audiences that haven’t previously engaged with, or even felt excluded from, the discipline.
The talk will conclude with thoughts on where the archaeology and wellbeing movement goes next, how projects can reach beyond established audiences, and the increasing role archaeology can play in tackling specific root causes of inequality, injustice, and social isolation.
