Heritage is the past viewed from a contemporary perspective. With its significance in culture, education, economy, environment and society, it shapes identities, preserves knowledge and collective memory, boosts tourism, supports conservation efforts and promotes social cohesion. It provides a sense of belonging and continuity across generations. Digital innovation plays a crucial role in democratising access to heritage and redefining how we engage with the past. Modern technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, provide immersive experiences that bring history to life, enriching our understanding of the past.
