Description
The ICOMOS-CIF 2024 Symposium, celebrating its 40th anniversary, will take place in Venice. It aims to reflect on ICOMOS CIF work so far, to critically review current practices and theories of conservation of built heritage around the world, and to create a competency matrix for informing appropriate education and training curricula and methodologies.
The Symposium was under the Patronage of Ca’ Foscari, University of Venice and organised in collaboration with ICOMOS-Italia, and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The results will be presented at the RIBA Conservation Forum on 27th November 2024 and the proceedings published in an edited book, which will aim to be a reference for the conservation of built heritage.
ICOMOS CIF has contributed to the development of the new UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education (2024). This event is our first contribution to the implementation of the Framework, which promotes intercultural dialogue and linguistic diversity, highlighting the need for placing culture and the arts at the heart of education and lifelong learning policies, strategies, curricula and programmes, within all types of educational settings.
