In order to ensure day-to-day protection of sometimes remote archaeological sites, heritage managers must boost the interest of local communities in heritage that can improve their quality of life and give them a sense of belonging. The community outreach model proposed in this paper is based on using one chosen site as a focal point for all activities. Explaining heritage-related issues and archaeology through the local perspective brings archaeological heritage closer to the people and integrates community around common values. Remaining local, it can be best suited for the needs of the public. This model results from participation of Poland’s National Institute of Cultural Heritage (NID) in a European Union (EU) project entitled TRIQUETRA - Toolbox for assessing and mitigating Climate Change risks and natural hazards threatening cultural heritage, funded by the EU Higher Education research and innovation programme under GA No. 101094818 in 2023–2025 (Ioannidis 2025).
