Each speaker shares their learnings and insights on how to effectively influence policy – and you’ll hear from Harman Sagger from the Department of Culture Media and Sport, Ailsa Macfarlane from Built Environment Forum Scotland discussing making heritage relevant and getting traction when stats aren’t turning heads, Paul Cairney, policy researcher from the University of Stirling, Julia Lamaison, Head of Research and Statistics at British Film Institute (BFI),and Kate Clark, heritage expert and former CEO of Cadw (the Welsh Government heritage service). Together they explore both how we can influence policy and use policy to influence behaviour and skills.

The session is chaired by Abigail Gilmore, University of Manchester and was part of our 'What value culture?' festival in November 2020.
