Course Outline:
In an era of escalating crises, the intersections of natural and human-made hazards—ranging from climate-driven floods, fires, and droughts to violent conflicts, urban expansion, and environmental degradation—are creating more frequent, severe, and complex disasters. These compound risk events not only endanger lives and livelihoods but also threaten cultural heritage, erasing the very traditions, places, artifacts and knowledge systems that anchor communities in times of upheaval.
Who Should Attend:
This groundbreaking and innovative initiative, funded by the EU, is designed for professionals who want to significantly impact their communities by protecting at-risk heritage. The project aims to enhance the ability to safeguard all forms of heritage from extreme threats, including disasters caused by climate change and armed conflicts, both in Europe and beyond.
