OUR CAUSE

Keeping Our Heritage Alive

Our Heritage is what we have inherited from the past, to value and enjoy in the present, and to preserve and pass on to future generations.

Heritage is important in helping shape our identity. It provides clues to our past and how our society has evolved. It helps us examine our history and traditions and enables us develop awareness about ourselves.

Preserving our local heritage is important because it has the potential to re-energise neglected areas and provide opportunities for local people and those living in the diaspora to re-view, re-connect with and re-interpret their heritage, to help generate a greater sense of pride and belonging in the local area through increased participation.

Maintaining and enhancing our heritage provides a basis for local economic development and innovation in tourism, agriculture, education and business generally.

Berbati Heritage aims at making the village’s history and cultural heritage accessible for education, research and recreation.
