Heritage Hacks

A group of final year arts business management students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic have put together five how-to guides for SHF2021 to equip the everyday person with the means to document and share their heritage stories.

You will walk away with the basic skills required to put together cookbooks, photo essays, podcasts and even videos on your favourite heritage subjects.

These guides are short, simple and a whole lot of fun to put into action! Take your pick from the following downloadable guides to kickstart your heritage adventure!

Heritage Hack 1: Capture Your Heritage
Capture Your Heritage is a fun and simple guide which will equip you with the skills to create your very own photo essay. Follow our steps to create a memorable, thematic look at, say, the neighbourhood you grew up in.
