COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

First Aid to Cultural Heritage in Times of Conflict

 

 

Dates:  17 September — 29 October 2010 (6 weeks)

Place:  Rome, with study visits to other cities in Italy

Background

In the past decades, armed conflicts worldwide have involved deliberate or accidental damage to cultural heritage. Conflicts cause the weakening of governments and societies and endanger the core values that hold communities together. Cultural heritage thus plays a crucial role in recovering from such situations. In times of conflict, however, all operations can be delayed because access is often restricted by military, security, or law enforcement agencies. Consequently, it is essential for everyone working in these areas to understand how and when to intervene to protect endangered cultural heritage while humanitarian efforts are under way.

 

Objectives

•Understand the values associated with cultural heritage and the impact that conflict has on them;

•Apply ethics and principles of conservation in extreme conditions;

•Assess and manage risks to cultural heritage in conflict situations;

•Take peacetime preparatory action to improve response in times of conflict;

•Secure, salvage and stabilize a variety of cultural materials;

•Understand international legal instruments protecting cultural heritage during conflicts;

•Communicate successfully with the various actors involved, and work in teams;

 

Methodology
