Cette semaine, ALIPH a eu l'opportunité de suivre une formation sur la réponse à la crise. Face à l’augmentation des urgences à travers le monde – qu’elles soient liées aux conflits, aux désastres ou au changement climatique – nous devons être toujours plus réactifs pour soutenir nos partenaires sur le terrain et protéger le patrimoine en danger. Un immense merci à l'Office fédéral de la protection de la population (Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP) et à la Ville de Genève pour cette excellente formation et pour le partage de votre expertise précieuse ! Nelly Cauliez - Yoann Emile Frisa - Bastien Varoutsikos *** This week, ALIPH staff were trained on crisis response. Faced with an increasing number of emergencies around the world - whether linked to conflict, disaster, or climate change - we need to be even more responsive to support our partners on the ground and protect heritage at risk. A huge thank you to the Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP and the City of Geneva for this excellent training course and for sharing your invaluable expertise!

🎉 Today is ALIPH's birthday! 🎉 8 years ago today, ALIPH was registered as an international foundation in #Switzerland.   Since then, we have grown into a leading global fund for protecting cultural heritage endangered by conflicts and crises as well as climate change in vulnerable areas. Over these 8 years, we have supported over 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 in 𝟒𝟐 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.   At our recent team workshop, we reflected on how ALIPH’s work makes us feel. It was inspiring to see that what unites us is the 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 we have for ALIPH's impact.   Our work would not have been possible without our larger 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐇 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 —our governance members, over 30 donors, and, most importantly, the hundreds of incredible partners who implement projects and share our mission.   💫 Thank you for being part of this journey! ✨

Today, we are honoring Svitlana Stryelnikova and all Ukrainian women working tirelessly to protect heritage at risk. Over the course of the war in Ukraine, ALIPH has supported 800 heritage professionals in #Ukraine, 75% of whom are #women.   Dr. Svitlana Stryelnikova earned her doctoral degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv and has more than 40 years of experience as a heritage professional. She is currently the Director General of the National Research and Restoration Centre (#NRRC).    She has been a leader in safeguarding Ukraine's unique cultural heritage throughout the war in Ukraine. She and her team have been traversing the country, often operating perilously close to active hostilities and shelling, to protect and restore artifacts. This work has been done in "heritage ambulances", vehicles equipped with restoration materials driven by heritage professionals throughout the country, and a unique initiative supported by ALIPH through the generous support of the European Commission.   These portraits of Svitlana are part of the ALIPH exhibition "Portraits of Women - Beyond the Stones", created in collaboration with the Commission luxembourgeoise pour l’UNESCO and currently on display at neimënster, Luxembourg. 📸 Artem Ilinh 💡 Learn more about Svitlana and the work of NRRC bit.ly/m/aliph #WomenInHeritage #Ukraine #CulturalHeritage #ALIPH #Luxembourg #EU #Getty
