YVS Journal
Articles, announcements, and stories from YVS projects — about heritage, communities, civic education, and the places we document.
What's happening, what we discover, what we build
The news page is the space where we follow YVS projects in real time: from launches and calls for participants, to research stories, field images, interviews, results and published materials.
Here you will find articles about our current activities, the places we document, the people we work with, and the ideas that help us build cultural, educational, and community projects.
We write not just to announce what we're doing, but to keep a record of the process: what we've learned, what questions arise, what works, what we can take forward.
