Cultural Heritage in a Changing World - the RICHES book
 Developed within the RICHES project about the context of change of our society and cultural heritage, the book "Cultural Heritage in a Changing World" addresses several core topics, through essays of important experts, adding to the debates surrounding the cultural heritage domain.
The Book is divided into four interrelated sections: Context of Change; Mediated and Unmediated Heritage; Co-creation and Living Heritage for Social Cohesion; and Identity and Belonging.
The Introduction and the whole editorial process have been curated by RICHES partners Karol Jan Borowiecki (University of Southern Denmark), Neil Forbes (Coventry University) and Antonella Fresa (Promoter SRL).
