Young people
The youth forum is a group of 18- 30-year-olds and early career professionals who are passionate about heritage and want to make our voices heard in the sector. We co-produced our goals and plan our programme in order to realise them and we meet monthly and organise regular activities to help us achieve our aims.
Goals
These are the aims of the Youth Forum.

Now 250-strong, we have achieved a great deal, including hosting a Careers Panel and Speed Mentoring event, producing regular blogs, starting a podcast channel, creating an advice library, and consulting and collaborating with heritage organisations.
