ENGAGE Regional Chapters
The ENGAGE Network operates primality The Middle East and North Africa and Southern Asia with 25 partners from 12 nations connected through three regional research hubs in Delhi (India); Baghdad (Iraq); and Tunis (Tunisia). The Regional hub will act as a focal point for Network activities, communications, and research infrastructure to engage and support research on cultural heritage.
The purpose of ENGAGE Network is to re-contextualise heritage as a humanitarian value system to mobilise discussion regarding its common elements - as meeting places, trading points, sites of shared enjoyment - and as a catalyst for much needed economic and social development and social justice. The Network's research programme revolves around four key themes:
§ Infrastructures of Heritage Partnerships
§ Collaborative Heritage Hospitality & Tourism
§ Creative Art, Craft and Cultural Co-production
§ Narratives of Displacement, Grievances and Impact
Regional Partnership Hubs
Each of the Network three Regions has a central Research Hub, where the Regional Chapter and research activities are coordinated, organised and delivered. Each Regional Hub has a Regional Coordinator, core partners and a research team. They engage and facilitate the regional activities of the network and its research programme.
