FRH Talks are a series of virtual chats where we invite the public to meet an expert in the cultural heritage field. The aim is to offer an overview of some of the burning issues and challenges facing cultural and religious heritage as well as to offer participants a chance to meet and interact with experts in the field and exchange views with the rest of the participants.
Each online talk has a one-hour duration. Both, members and non-members of FRH are welcome to participate.
