About the Project
Connecting young people and their heritage
Reimagine, Remake, Replay aims to connect young people and heritage through meaningful ways through creative media and the latest technologies whilst delving into museums collections in new ways.
The Reimagine, Remake, Replay programme is led by a consortium including Nerve Centre, National Museums Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Museums Council and Northern Ireland Screen, and is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Kick the Dust programme. The project plans to connect with more than 4,000 16-25 year olds with Museum’s and heritage through the use of creative media and the very latest cutting edge digital technologies. And it’s all absolutely free!
Activities will involve writing, casting and directing their own films, working with heritage organisations to create apps and games, using 3D scanners and printers, vinyl and laser cutters as well as virtual reality development to enhance and reinterpret collections. Participants will also be able to work towards achieving Open College Network (OCN) accreditation’s and digital badges through each programme.

The grants have been awarded through Kick the Dust, HLF’s pioneering new funding programme.
“As part of the Digital Maker Club, my peers and I discovered not only how technology can enhance collections, but also how young people could be more represented and included by the museum”
