La scorsa settimana abbiamo lanciato la fase online della Summer School on Post-Conflict Recovery, il nostro nuovo programma di formazione organizzato in collaborazione con ICCROM e con il sostegno dell’UNESCO e degli Emirati Arabi Uniti.

Il corso, strutturato in 5 Talk online e un workshop in presenza a Roma, intende fornire strumenti essenziali per pianificare e progettare forme di intervento in scenari post-bellici, con particolare attenzione al ruolo del patrimonio culturale. Questo obiettivo sarà perseguito attraverso lo scambio di idee ed esperienze, casi studio e attività di gruppo sulla valutazione, la progettazione e la pianificazione di interventi mirati.
