The Diversity festival in Birmingham on March 22 & 23 was dedicated to reflecting on public history and heritage with a focus on diverse stories, exploring the different types of collaborative work that has been done around WW1 subjects since 2014, and to thinking about future/potential collaborations and how community organisations and academics can continue working together to explore all aspects of the past.

The festival encouraged participants and attendees to better understand the challenges and opportunities of collaborative work around history, heritage and commemoration. A series of panel discussions, informal workshops, film screenings, and performances provided an informal and friendly forum for stimulating conversations around co-produced knowledge and critical responses to history and heritage.
