This session, organized by the Citizen Heritage  project, wanted to entice an interactive discussion with the audience, focused on understanding the approach methodologies, the various roles and challenges of technology in enabling an inclusive engagement with cultural collections that empowers citizens and community representative organizations in the reappropriation of their heritage. In particular we focused on methods for Citizen Science in this regard.

The session was supported by the use of an interactive enviroment based on a MIRO Board. View the Citizen Heritage MIRO board HERE.
