Fields of engagement
rhondda stands for a contemporary, forward-looking concept of regional development. Our main topics are industrial heritage & culture, regional policies & community development, and qualified tourism. The connecting element is our focus on the social and cultural aspects of a regional society's transformation.
Industrial heritage deals with the stories and meanings people connect with their region's built environment and specific culture. Heritage work has to answer the question of what stories of the past should be handed on to the next generation, why and how. It is about the cultural significance of places and the value they present to their regional community.
Regional policies focused for a long time on the economic and environmental aspects of development in regions undergoing structural change. What we need today is a holistic and realistic vision that connects different communities inside our regions, redefines their place in an international context, gives local people hope and allows them to take an active part in the transformation process.
Qualified tourism interprets industrial regions as complex cultural landscapes in continuing evolution. As such, it not only has to assure public access to unusual places, but also make visitors experience and understand a region's special cultural identity within a universal, international context. After all, it is a region's people and communities who create their particular landscape.
