==Youth engagement ==
Since 2018, English Heritage's highly successful national youth engagement project, Shout Out Loud, has provided a platform for young people to explore heritage sites and collections across England, helping them to uncover untold stories from our past.<ref>{{cite web |title=Home |url=https://www.shoutoutloud.org.uk/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Shout Out Loud |language=en-GB}}</ref> By amplifying their voices, the now permanent youth engagement programme continues to put young people's ideas and stories at the heart of English Heritage, engendering feelings of inclusion and relevance via increased representation and creative opportunities for involvement. Shout Out Loud was originally funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of Kick the Dust.<ref>{{cite web |date=2019-08-27 |title=What is Kick the Dust? {{!}} The National Lottery Heritage Fund |url=http://www.heritagefund.org.uk/blogs/what-kick-dust |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.heritagefund.org.uk}}</ref>

Shout Out Loud established a successful consortium of partners between 2018 and 2022 including Photoworks,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Photoworks UK {{!}} Commissions new photography, produces exhibitions |url=https://photoworks.org.uk/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Photoworks |language=en-GB}}</ref> the Council for British Archaeology,<ref>{{Cite web |last=CBA |title=Homepage |url=https://www.archaeologyuk.org/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.archaeologyuk.org}}</ref> National Youth Theatre<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Youth Theatre of Great Britain {{!}} National Youth Theatre |url=https://www.nyt.org.uk/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.nyt.org.uk}}</ref> and Sound Connections.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sound Connections {{!}} Changing Lives Through Music |url=https://www.sound-connections.org.uk/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.sound-connections.org.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref> A number of high-profile projects were delivered with these partners including: Reverberate,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Reverberate |url=https://www.shoutoutloud.org.uk/project/reverberate/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Shout Out Loud |language=en-GB}}</ref> a project aimed at connecting grassroot youth organisations with their local heritage (with Sound Connections); England's New Lenses,<ref>{{Cite web |title=England's New Lenses at Wrest Park |url=https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/wrest-park/englands-new-lenses/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=English Heritage}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=England's New Lenses |url=https://www.shoutoutloud.org.uk/englands-new-lenses/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Shout Out Loud |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Mouhandes |first=Dina |date=2021-07-07 |title=Photoworks X English Heritage |url=https://photoworks.org.uk/englands-new-lenses-2/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Photoworks |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Mistlin |first=Sasha |date=2021-08-01 |title=Young photographers reshape our visions of 'English' heritage |language=en-GB |work=The Observer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/01/young-photographers-reshape-our-visions-of-english-heritage |access-date=2023-08-04 |issn=0029-7712}}</ref> a photography project resulting in new bodies of work connected to English Heritage sites from four emerging photographers (with Photoworks); 'The Ancestors',<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Ancestors |url=https://www.shoutoutloud.org.uk/project/the-ancestors/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Shout Out Loud |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Ancestors |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/modernlanguages/academic/ka/ancestors/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=warwick.ac.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Ancestors: Uncovering Their Journey |url=https://artsandculture.google.com/story/the-ancestors-uncovering-their-journey/7wWhqLnq1w_ZZA |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Google Arts & Culture |language=en}}</ref> a performance based project exploring Black prisoners of War at Portchester Castle (with the National Youth Theatre and Warwick University) and 'Our House',<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our House |url=https://www.shoutoutloud.org.uk/project/our-house/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=Shout Out Loud |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=OUR HOUSE {{!}} The Documentary (2021) | date=13 January 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYV6eudIeVc |access-date=2023-08-04 |language=en}}</ref> exploring LGBTQ+ history at Eltham Palace (with the National Youth Theatre and Metro Charity); 'From Ordinary to Extraordinary',<ref>{{Cite web |last=CBA |title=From Ordinary to Extraordinary |url=https://www.archaeologyuk.org/youth-engagement/from-ordinary-to-extraordinary.html |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.archaeologyuk.org}}</ref> a project supporting national Young Archaeologists' Clubs<ref>{{Cite web |last=Club |first=Young Archaeologists' |title=Welcome to the Young Archaeologists' Club! - Archaeology for you |url=https://www.yac-uk.org/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.yac-uk.org}}</ref> to creatively explore and share their local history with new audiences (with the Council for British Archaeology).
