‘First Aid to Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis’ - international course the Netherlands

An international training on protecting and safeguarding cultural heritage in conflict areas and other extreme conditions starts on 30 March in Amsterdam.

During the month of April, 22 heritage professionals from all over the world, but mainly from areas ridden by conflict or natural disasters, will be in the Netherlands to participate in an intensive training in ‘First Aid to Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis’.

The First Aid to Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis (FAC) course aims to generate proactive cultural first-aiders, who will have the ability to protect cultural heritage within extreme conditions as well as work in tandem with other humanitarian actors amid an unfolding emergency.  

The training has been developed and organised by the Dutch National UNESCO Committee, the Smithsonian Institution and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), with the help of many partners in the Netherlands.
