The Heritage Trust Network Youth Forum’s placemaking subgroup have been hard at work this year creating a placemaking manifesto.
The placemaking subgroup was formed early in 2024 from members of the 100+ young people in the Forum. The group got together due to interest in placemaking from learning about it in work, at university or through general interest. Over the course of several months the placemaking subgroup have had regular meetings to research and discuss placemaking, with the view to creating their own manifesto ready for the Heritage Trust Network 2024 conference in Dunfermline.
Although they had less than 10 meetings total, the placemaking group have worked hard to create a manifesto which outlines their ideas and opinions on placemaking and the priorities which they think should be considered when approaching placemaking.
The manifesto was displayed and promoted at conference in Dunfermline on 30th September, with members of the group hosting a breakout session to explain the manifesto and encourage delegates to think about placemaking and what they can do themselves.
