An academic project aiming to help build more inclusive notions of cultural heritage and identity has called on youth theatres to fully involve minority groups to create real diversity.

Cultural Heritage and Identities of Europe's Future, also known as the CHIEF project, has been taking place across nine countries, with the UK research based at Aston University and the University of Gloucestershire. The research is being coordinated by Dr Anton Popov, a senior lecturer in sociology and policy at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities at Aston University.
