The training series “Heritage Resilience: Safeguarding Cultural Legacy in Crisis Zones” is aimed at equipping professionals from museums with critical skills necessary for the protection and preservation of cultural heritage in conflict- and crisis-prone areas. Given the increasing threats to cultural heritage due to armed conflicts, natural disasters, and other crises, this training series is essential for ensuring the sustainability and resilience of cultural institutions worldwide.
In the current global context, cultural heritage faces many threats, including armed conflicts, natural disasters, and other crises. Museums and cultural heritage institutions play a crucial role in preserving collective memory and community identity. Therefore, it is vital for museum professionals to have the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage these risks.
