4. Australia ICOMOS NSW Mentoring Program – calling for New South Wales Members!
Australia ICOMOS launched its student mentoring program in Victoria in 2012 following an earlier trial in the ACT, and it now runs in New South Wales and Victoria. The program supports members to share their knowledge and networks with students looking toward careers in heritage.
As the program has now run with enthusiastic responses from both mentors and mentees, we are very pleased to be offering it in New South Wales for 2017.
When naming their favourite aspect of the program, the majority of previous mentors named the personal contact (we both learned from each other; refreshing to talk to the younger generation; good to know there is actually a pool of interested people; like the opportunity to help a new person into the profession), and almost all felt that they were able to make a valuable contribution to the knowledge and career prospects of their mentee. All respondents enjoyed it so much; they said they would be happy to do it again.
Students in heritage-related post-graduate programs at University of Sydney, and possibly the doctoral students working in heritage at Western Sydney University will be invited to apply for the program.
We usually have many more students than mentors apply – this restricts the size of the program, so we are hoping that all ICOMOS members based in New South Wales will consider participating this year.
What is required?
While the mentoring arrangements will vary, we ask that mentors meet with their mentees at least 3 times during the program between May and October. These meetings allow discussion about issues involved in heritage practice, and the student’s study and work interests.
There will be a social event held in early May to introduce mentoring pairs. If you wish to be a mentor or a mentee, it is not essential to attend, although this is an easy way to meet and set up the first meeting, as well as networking with other students and colleagues.
There will be a brief evaluation questionnaire distributed at the end of the year that we ask all participants to complete and return.
How do I get involved as a MENTOR?
If you would like to contribute to this valuable (and enjoyable) effort this year, and be an ICOMOS MENTOR, please email an expression of interest to Georgia Meros at the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by 24 April 2017.
Please provide your contact details (email and a work or mobile number) and a brief outline of your field of professional experience and current practice. This will assist the Mentoring Team in matching mentors and mentees.
Mentors must be Full ICOMOS members, and can have professional experience in any sector of cultural heritage practice. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many students and mentors as possible.
Who will get involved as a MENTEE?
Students in participating university courses will be advised of the application process by the focal point at their university.
All applications will be asked to be received by the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by 24 April 2017. We will try to ‘match’ by interest as many mentoring pairs as possible.
When do we start?
We will be matching students and mentors next month, and will launch this year’s program with an event in early May. More information about the launch will be sent to participants in the program.
We hope that all members based in New South Wales will welcome this opportunity to participate in the efforts of Australia ICOMOS and its partners to support young professionals across a range of cultural heritage disciplines.

TITLE: A history of cycling communities and the ‘Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club’ in Sydney, 1870s-2017
SYNOPSIS: Australian cycling historian Dr Marc Rerceretnam will speak about his recent academic publications examining the important role cycling clubs like the DHBC played in the Australian social landscape from the 1870s to present day.
As a case study the research will look at the Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club which has been part of the social fabric of the Inner West since 1908. It not only played a pivotal role in nurturing local sportspersons but acted as an active social network for all youngsters. For a century, the club cultivated a sense of community for many in the area and helped foster a creative and healthy outlet for many youngsters at a time when the Inner West was chock-a-block full of young boys and girls keen for fraternal guidance and healthy outdoor activity.
Date & time: 6.30pm, Tuesday 2 May 2017
Venue: Inner West Council’s Dulwich Hill Library
