The Annual Review 2023-24 shows a year of collaboration and connecting with members online and in-person, from the lively Student and Emerging Conservator Conference 'Testing the Waters' in Amsterdam to the ITCC International Training Centre for Conservation course on conservation and restoration of metals in partnership with the Palace Museum, Beijing. Throughout the year we have been able to offer a variety of interactive online learning opportunities for conservators and cultural heritage professionals in over 73 countries, extending our reach and membership geographically through new initiatives like 'Net Zero', and by offering support to many members of IIC around the world.https://https://lnkd.in/eeB5T358

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in a webinar hosted by CHARTER - European Cultural Heritage Skills Alliance, titled "How Can Heritage Skills Unlock the Full Potential of European Regions." Professionals from various regions discussed the main challenges and solutions for preserving heritage. Two significant issues emerged: the generation gap affecting knowledge transfer and the lack of specialized restoration and preservation skills for both intangible and tangible heritage. Setting up a network of heritage skill academies might be one if the possible solutions to address the ever-evolving risks to suffer irreversable heritage losses. #hetitage #heritageskills #intangibleheritage #culturalmanagement #culturechallenges #europeanheritage

I had the honour and opportunity to share about my experience as a masters student at the University of Glasgow! The focus of the interview was on the unique international quality of my program, and I would also love to highlight some of the topics covered during my studies and practicums: accessibility and representation, curriculum development, the history of museums, cultural policy and politics, social memory and contested heritage, intangible and tangible heritage, entrepreneurship in the arts, and curation and conservation through an educational lens.

In the Cultural #Heritage sector, co-design practices have been increasingly implemented in recent years to enhance the engagement of communities and stakeholders in the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of cultural heritage. 📚 Participatory design workshops, co-creation of exhibitions, co-production of digital content, and collaborative research are some examples of co-design practices implemented in the cultural heritage sector.

Education is the most powerful weapon with which you can change the world. ~Nelson Mandela So what is Ocean Literacy? Join our programs and know more. Ocean literacy is the understanding of the ocean's influence on people and how people influence the ocean. It also includes the ability to communicate about the ocean and make informed decisions about it https://lnkd.in/dpGqUABY

Grasping how the ocean impacts us and how we, in turn, affect the ocean is Crucial.

Ocean literacy is absolutely key to driving meaningful behaviour change.

HYGROMETRIC TREATMENT IN CULTURAL HERITAGE DISPLAY CASES The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works 🖼️ Preventive conservation of works of art and historical artefacts is a fundamental mission, and knowledge of materials is crucial in choosing the best solution to combat humidity. 🏛️ 🔍 Having in-depth knowledge enables conservators to plan effective strategies, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the cultural heritage without compromising its integrity. 🌍 Investing in research and training on best practices for moisture management in museums is not only a wise choice, but a responsibility to the history and culture we represent. 💡 It is crucial to keep abreast of technological innovations and state-of-the-art materials to ensure the optimal preservation of our common heritage. https://lnkd.in/dvDh8WXB #Museums #CulturalHeritage #HeritageCare #preventiveconservation #propadynmuseart

On this day in 1945, the world made a significant commitment by adopting the UNESCO Constitution—an enduring symbol of hope, unity, and progress. This foundation set the stage for promoting peace in the minds of humanity through #Education, #Culture, and #Science, emphasising that shared understanding is essential for global sustainability. As a proud member of the UNESCO family, leading the UNESCO Ocean/Sub-Commission for Africa and the Adjacent Island States, I draw great inspiration from this legacy. It fuels our efforts to empower nations across Africa through initiatives aimed at fostering #SustainableBlueEconomies. By leveraging #OceanScience, enhancing data sharing, and investing in capacity development, we are turning aspirations into tangible impacts for the African region and beyond. Every initiative we undertake reflects the Constitution's call for collaboration and equity. This anniversary invites us all to reflect: How can we further embrace these timeless values in addressing modern challenges? How can we ensure that today’s collective wisdom lays a strong foundation for future peace and sustainability? In our interconnected world, it is crucial that we recommit to these ideals and collaborate to develop solutions as integrated as the challenges we encounter.
