About – INHERIT Resilience Network

The INHERIT Resilience Network aims at investigating the impact that climate change, conflict (both political and over lack of access to natural resources) and displacement of populations have on both tangible and intangible aspects of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) heritage.

INHERIT brings together experts who can provide a critical understanding of the interpretations/narratives influencing the transformation of the MENA region’s heritage in response to conflict and climate change. It will put together evidence and direction for the development of future research focused on tackling sustainability, social integration and heritage-led resilience through creative interventions that support the empowerment of vulnerable and marginalised communities through reconciliation and dialogue.

The INHERIT webpage is a collaborative space that will allow an international network of partners to develop projects, knowledge transfer activities and events and advance discourse and policy on heritage revitalisation and sustainable management. By developing grassroot and community-centred activities and interventions, INHERIT will promote a better understanding of the socio-cultural needs of the different groups and provide communities with novel integration strategies that will make more inclusive and stronger institutions fostering longer periods of peace in the MENA.
