| Summary: |
This workshop, which is being held in the Islamic Republic of
Iran, is the first of a series of itinerant workshops which will
bring together site managers from a selection of World Heritage
sites in Afghanistan, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan
and Uzbekistan, as well as cultural heritage authorities. At present
there is little or no cooperation between the heritage professionals
working in the region, despite the many similarities intypes of
heritage and the conservation challenges.
Objectives
- focus on the common background and traditions of the sites,
discuss specific conservation issues and identify solutions and
conservation measures
- identify future training needs
- establish a network for exchange and ensure long-term cooperation
in the region, as well as foster best conservation practices and
site preservation
The workshops are organized as on site training programmes, held
at specifically chosen sites, most of which are World Heritage properties
and sites included on Tentative Lists.
