The importance and the role of culture
in crisis and post crisis scenarios has relevantly raised in the recent
years,
due to the emerging of new forms of conflicts and to the
intensification of
disasters. This raise of attention turned into international campaigns
and into
a global response towards heritage protection, communities identity and
cultural
expressions safeguarding, as well as the control of illicit traffics
and
activities.
In this context the Master in Cultural Property Protection in Crisis Response is designed for a mixed target of civilians, military personnel, NGOs, peacekeepers, and in general all the operators with a role in intervening in field operations in armed conflits or disasters scenarios, as well as those ones operating in the post-conflict or post-disaster recovery process.
The course aims to prepare a future generation of professionals with a multidisciplinary background and advanced expertise in the protection of cultural property in time of crisis and, more widely, in increasing the capacities to enhance the role of culture for addressing the social reconciliation and economic recovery of affected areas.
Through a combination of
lectures, seminars, practical exercises
and best practices analisys, the selected participants will acquire
competences and methodologies on:
in-depth knowledge on the international legal framework for protecting cultural properties and natural protected areas, combatting cultural crimes, and ensuring the rights of access to culture, to better understand duties of governments, citizens, communities and non-governmental organizations;
knowledge and tools for understanding and assessing the physical damages and the cultural, social and economic losses caused by the crisis;
comprehension of the potential of culture in addressing and managing the post-conflict or post-disaster reconstruction, with specific reference to the role of the culture capital and locally based knowledge and creativity in the social and economic recovery of affected communities;
