What is heritage education?

Heritage Education is a pedagogical approach to teaching and learning that uses information available from tangible and intangible culture and from the natural, human, and built environments as primary instructional resources. It is a relational and experiential process that takes place in the interaction between the individual and the object or idea of heritage.

Hi Carol and everybody!
I would like to become more involved. Actually I want to make a career shift in this direction. I have a double major BA in Anth and Archeo and a minor in Culturally Based Health Practices. Caring for family has prevented my pursuit of higher degrees. I have been working in landscaping for 25 years and had to return to it after getting my BA in 2016. I think becoming involved with groups such as this one will help me pivot back toward the work I would prefer to be doing! Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
Checking on my membership…-
Jenny, thanks for your inquiry! THEN would love to have you join and become involved! And we would be happy to offer suggestions for entering the profession. Please look for an email from information@theheritageeducationnetwork.org.
