About Lisa Rea Currie
Heritage Practitioner with a passion for community development
With 20 years of experience, Lisa Rea Currie is a heritage practitioner working at the intersection of heritage and community. She is dedicated to helping people tell their stories that connect them to each other and their places.
Lisa is passionate about how engaging with heritage can change lives for the better and has used heritage as tool for community engagement in youth work, community development and urban regeneration settings.
Lisa specialises in participatory and collaborative practices which help communities to discover and develop the skills to preserve, nurture and share their histories. She has found that this approach builds connection between participants, their communities and their places.
She is currently using her experience and methodologies developed over her career to inform her doctoral work with the University of Hertfordshire where she is exploring ‘The Social Impacts of Heritage-led Regeneration in Carrickfergus.’
