Place: Rome, Italy
Background
ICCROM is pleased to announce the commencement of a regular training course on Conservation of Built Heritage in Rome. ICCROM has been a pioneer in organizing courses in heritage conservation since 1965 including the ARC course and many other regular courses and long term programmes. In designing the new course, ICCROM has drawn from this experience and considered the most recent international trends and thinking related to conservation of the built heritage, including buildings, sites, historic centres and cultural landscapes.
The course aims at serving a wide range of conservation practitioners and decision makers by placing technical issues within the broader conservation context in order to link them to planning and management concerns. The first part of the course will consist of an overview of the different approaches and of key concepts in built heritage conservation. The second part, focusing on an integrated approach to conservation and management of heritage, will provide an opportunity for the participants to view conservation concerns within a broader strategic and planning framework capturing not only technical but also the cultural, environmental and sustainability issues. Finally, a portion of the course will be allocated to looking at technical aspects of conservation interventions.
Application deadline
Applications should reach ICCROM by 31 July 2006 to ensure inclusion in our selection process.
