Granton:hub is taking part in an exciting European funded research project on the evolving heritages of Edinburgh’s shifting coastline. The overall aim of the study is to document and understand different relationships to the heritage of this fluctuating landscape, to identify opportunities not just for institutional or governmental intervention, but also for Granton's community to take action, and to explain what is expected from future plans.

A group of ECA academics and their students are interested in engaging with the local community, to reflect on the following themes/questions:

1. What is the wider geographical context of the Granton area?
2. How has this site evolved over time, physically, socially, and economically?
3. Who governs cultural heritage in Granton, and how?
4. How have local groups and stakeholders developed a sense of the heritage value of Granton?

We would like to invite you to take part, to discuss these themes, through interviews, either over Zoom, by phone or in person. Each slot will take around 30-45 minutes but this is flexible. Activities will take place on 3 separate days. On Friday the researchers will present a summary of their findings in the Hub and invite discussion on the future of heritage in Granton.

Overview of the programme

• Monday afternoon 21 February - individual meeting slots available between 13.00-19.00 (over Zoom, by phone or in person)
• Tuesday 22 February - individual meeting slots available between 10.00-18.00 (over Zoom, by phone or in person)
• Friday 25 February - poster exhibition and welcome talk open between 15.00-19.00. In person event, with catering

Please book the day that matches your availability. If you sign up to be interviewed, one of the researcher team will contact you following your registration in advance of the workshop to arrange this.

After the workshop, ECA will produce a document outlining their findings, for presentation at Una Europe, hosted by Universite Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne. Your input would therefore shape a collaborative generated dossier of information about Granton to be presented at European level.
