In the third episode of the Future is Heritage Podcast we are talking to Jeroen van Dijk, an art and architectural history professional from the Netherlands who lives and works in London, UK. Jeroen tells us about his vision and work on community and everyday heritage, which moves away from the authorized heritage discourses towards a more inclusive heritage practice. The Covid-19 pandemic threw up loads of challenges for someone who wants to make heritage more accessible. What experiences did Jeroen gain during this time? And are these lessons that can also be applied once the pandemic is over?

How can cultural heritage help in bringing the different communities on the island closer together?
