This course is designed to help you discover what heritage means for you. You will explore a personal heritage topic of your choice and develop your own definition of heritage. We will also learn about the heritage of others to help enhance your awareness of different heritages and improve your understanding of heritage as significant in the context of the community and society. We will journey through the world of heritage using guest speakers, discussions, selected readings, films, writing, research and field trips. All of this will increase your connection to heritage and your ability to utilize heritage resources for future heritage discovery.
