1) Second call for ACT ICOMOS mentors!!!!
Dear ACT ICOMOS Members,
A call for potential ICOMOS mentors was
previously sent out and a great response has been received! However, a number
of members commented that the call appeared to exclude those who work in
government roles. This was certainly unintentional. Although
government employees will obviously have restrictions on bringing mentees into
their workplace or discussing some specific issues, this probably applies to
all professionals in certain circumstances. So, I hope
Planning is well underway to launch the
mentor program on 6 October at 5pm at the National Archives- details will be
confirmed and potential mentors who have lodged expressions of interest will be
contacted individually.
I include the original call, slightly
reworded, below.
Best wishes, Tracy Ireland
Are you willing to mentor and pass on your
wisdom and experience to a new generation of cultural heritage professionals?
The Donald Horne Institute for Cultural
Heritage,
What is required?
•
A monthly meeting of just an hour or so with a mentee
to discuss issues involved in your work and the student’s study or early career
professional’s work, over a 4 or 5 month period;
•
Involving the mentee in a site visit or meeting, where
appropriate, would be an added bonus for the mentee;
•
Responding to some questions at the end of the
mentoring trial for evaluation purposes.
How do I get involved?
If you would like to become an ICOMOS
MENTOR, or learn more about the idea, please send an expression of interest to
Tracy Ireland Email tracy.ireland@canberra.edu.au. Mentors should be ICOMOS
members with substantial professional experience in any sector of cultural
heritage.

Questionnaire
HERITAGE INDUSTRY SKILLS
AND TRAINING NEEDS QUESTIONNAIRE
1 – 10 OCTOBER 2009
The Heritage Chairs of Australia and New
Zealand (HCOANZ) have commissioned the Heritage Trades and Professional
Training Project to document and evaluate existing professional and trades
training and assess community and industry requirements and identify actions
needed to address historic heritage training needs.
The project seeks the views of individuals
and organisations in the Heritage industry on the skills and professional
training needs of people working in the management and conservation of historic
heritage places through a Heritage Industry Skills and Training Needs
Questionnaire that you will be able access through www.gml.com.au from 1 – 10 October 2009. (An email inviting
participation in the survey will be sent in late September with a hot link to
the survey itself).
