MOMENTUM
Heritage in Action (HiA) works with local organizations and cultural sites to drive socio-economic growth around the world.
We aim to elevate cultural heritage as an integral part of development processes through media and storytelling, travel and exploration, and hands-on engagement with cultural places and the communities connected to them.
Recognizing that the bond between cultural places and the groups who use them fosters local values, we create engaging platforms that expand development opportunities, while building meaningful connections between people and places.
OUR PROJECTS
HiA works hard to develop initiatives and platforms that foster culture, social justice and greater access to economic opportunities. We partner with local organizations and communities to support sustainable development alongside cultural diplomacy, understanding and preservation.
