Call: World Heritage Young Professionals Forum 2017
Prior to the 41st session of the World Heritage Committee, which this year will be held in Poland, and in the framework of the UNESCO World Heritage Education Programme, the Polish National Commission for UNESCO and the International Cultural Centre in Krakow are proud to hold the World Heritage Young Professionals Forum 2017 “Memory: Lost and Recovered Heritage” from the 25 June to 4 July 2017, in Warsaw and Krakow (Poland). A call for participation has recently been launched.
The main goal of the Forum is to compare and contrast two historic centres of the two largest Polish cities – Warsaw and Krakow, and discuss them as examples of destruction and continuance. Young professionals from all over the world, between 22 and 32 years of age, who are interested in cultural heritage will have an opportunity to exchange ideas, broaden their outlook and contribute to the discussions in topics such as:
- memory and identity;
- conservation and restoration of sites;
- limits of reconstruction;
- heritage management
- the implementation of the World Heritage Convention;
- the working methods of the World Heritage Committee;
- the challenges and opportunities of the protection, conservation and restoration of selected World Heritage sites carrying associative values.
