WINDRUSH
COMMUNITY
Our research service is dedicated to uncovering the hidden stories of the Windrush generation.
WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION
We are proud to be working alongside Clive Foster, a leading expert in the field and EDI Manager at NTU, to create an engaging workshop that explores and celebrates the history and culture of the Windrush era. Through this, we aim to raise awareness of its importance to British society and to ensure the stories of this time are never forgotten.
WHAT IS HERITAGE?
Our heritage includes everything that we have inherited from the past. These can be physical (tangible) objects such as buildings or artefacts, to intangible objects such as traditions, customs, and dance.
​
​
Heritage shapes us and forms part of our identities, making it important to learn about an protect. That is the reason this research project began, to protect the heritage of the Windrush Community and the Angolan Women's Community.
HERITAGE IN NOTTINGHAM
Nottingham is filled both tangible and intangible heritage from the legend of Robin Hood to Wollaton Hall. Nottingham also celebrates the heritage of it citizens, including members of the Windrush generation.
