2. [NEW ITEM] PANORAMA Nature Culture ‘Community’

An EXPANDING PANORAMA?

The Marker Event for ICOMOS GA2020 included the launch of the PANORAMA Nature Culture ‘community’, an initiative of ICCROM, ICOMOS and IUCN.

We are very pleased to showcase the following opportunity to contribute to the PANORAMA initiative:

Nature-Culture Thematic Community on the PANORAMA platform is looking
for more inspiring case studies from all around the world!

PANORAMA – Solutions for a Healthy Planet is a partnership initiative to document and promote examples of inspiring, replicable solutions across a range of conservation and sustainable development topics, enabling cross-sectoral learning and inspiration. The new thematic community, coordinated jointly by ICCROM, ICOMOS and IUCN, is a space for heritage practitioners to share and reflect their experiences from their heritage places, and to learn with their peers how similar challenges have been addressed around the globe. 

The Nature-Culture thematic community highlights the importance of integrated heritage protection and management for sustainable development looking at inspiring approaches to heritage management and conservation, which include the use of local and Indigenous knowledge and the engagement of local communities. It aims to form a global community of practice in places valued for their cultural and natural significance, across indigenous peoples’ territories, rural and coastal landscapes, seascapes and urban landscapes.

Please read through the template and manual in the links below and share your practice with us!

The solution template and user manual can be downloaded here.

An introduction to the platform with a step-by-step video guidance can be found here.

4. [NEW ITEM] Berlin State Monument Office’s study award – applications open and close 15 February 2021

The Berlin monument landscape is as diverse as the city: modern settlements and old village centers, intimate house gardens and extensive public parks, mixed Wilhelminian style quarters and wealthy villa suburbs, technical infrastructures and globally operating industries, world-famous icons of modernity and sensational archaeological finds. The forms of occupation within are as diverse as the monument landscape: building and urban historical research, renovations and conversions in line with historic monuments, participation offers and mediation tasks are important foundations of Berlin monument preservation.

The Berlin State Monument Office’s study award recognizes and promotes employment at universities and colleges with the Berlin monument landscape. It is awarded annually on the occasion of the Berlin Monument Day for outstanding bachelor and master theses that relate to the Berlin monument landscape and deal with topics relevant to Berlin monument preservation.

Students at all universities and technical colleges in Germany and abroad are eligible to participate. There is no restriction to certain disciplines or subject areas such as art history, monument preservation, architecture, garden architecture, restoration or archeology. The only decisive factor is the thematic focus of the thesis.

The Berlin State Monuments Office’s study award is awarded to up to three Bachelor or Master theses each year. Each prize is worth 1,000 euros. The Berlin State Monuments Office decides on the awarding of the prizes.

Please note: Bachelor and master theses that have been completed and assessed at a university or technical college within a period of up to two years prior to the award of the study prize are eligible. For the 2021 study prize, this corresponds to the period from 01/01/2019 to 15/02/2021.

The deadline for submissions is 15 February 2021.

Editorial note: the above text was translated from German using Google Translate with minimal editing, and is originally from this website.

The submissions can be made in German and English version. Since the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin only has the necessary documents as German downloads, eligible and interested students should send any queries to this email address.

Nominations open – 2022 World Monuments Watch | deadline: 1 March 2021

World Monuments Fund (WMF) is now accepting nominations for the 2022 World Monuments Watch.

The World Monuments Watch is a two-year program that seeks to discover, spotlight, and take action on behalf of heritage places facing challenges or presenting outstanding opportunities of direct relevance to our global society. Every two-year cycle of the Watch includes 25 heritage places from around the world, selected for their cultural significance, the need or opportunity for urgent or timely action, and the potential for World Monuments Fund to make a meaningful difference.

Through the Watch, WMF collaborates with local partners to design and implement targeted conservation programs – including advocacy, planning, education, and physical interventions in the historic built environment. The ultimate goal of the program since its inception has been to improve human well-being through cultural heritage preservation.

The 2022 cycle of the Watch is taking place amidst circumstances that have revealed the profound interconnectedness of our world. Together, we can innovate to create a more harmonious world where the past and present cohabitate, where local communities and their cultural heritage are recognized and respected, and where we and future generations have the capacity to appreciate our history, respect our differences, and better understand each other.

We are looking for nominations with clear potential to respond to the global need to ensure equitable representation for all, and the pressing challenges of climate change and imbalanced tourism.

Submissions will be accepted until Monday 1 March 2021.

GCI-MOSAIKON technician training in mosaic conservation lessons online

An important milestone for the MOSAIKON Initiative has been achieved. Mosaic conservation didactic materials, in the form of 24 Power Point lessons developed during the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) mosaic conservation technician training courses since the beginning of MOSAIKON, have recently been made available for free download at the Getty Conservation Institute website.

These 24 different subject lessons accompany the technician training handbook and illustrated glossary that are already available on the website as downloadable PDFs. The lessons represent an expansion of the GCI’s MOSAIKON training activities in recent years to include not just the conservation of in situ mosaics but also the conservation of detached and re-laid mosaics on sites and in storage. Currently, the lessons are available in French and English, but we plan to have an Arabic version in place by next year.

While MOSAIKON courses are coming to an end, these didactic materials will remain as a significant resource for teachers of mosaic conservation technicians and heritage conservation professionals, and as reference documents for the field.

Thomas Roby, Senior Project Specialist at the GCI, would like to commend the co-authors of these lessons, long-time GCI consultant conservators and educators, Livia Alberti and Ermanno Carbonara, who have dedicated much of their time since 2008 to training MOSAIKON course participants and to producing these didactic materials.

A new website aims to take Victoria’s Goldfields to the world

The campaign to put the Central Victorian Goldfields on the World Heritage map took a huge step forward this week with the launch of a new website.

Funded by the Victorian Goldfields Tourism Executive (VGTE), the website is the latest iteration of the bid that has been percolating behind the scenes for several years. It provides fascinating insights into the discovery of gold in Victoria, the world-wide significance of the Victorian goldrush and the epic bid for World Heritage listing.

The Central Victorian Goldfields World Heritage Bid is a partnership between thirteen local governments, regional organisations, academia and the private sector on behalf of the Central Victorian Goldfields community.

The bid aims to share the extraordinary story of Central Victorian Goldfields with people from across the globe and create social, cultural and economic opportunities for every community and person across the region..

The site itself is a treasure trove of historic photos, illustrations and stories. It has scores of useful references and links for scholars, industry stakeholders, tourism operators and community groups.

It is also a functional working tool in the bid development process. It encourages interested parties to register for regular bid updates and invites participation in the creation of a new, overarching regional brand and critical investment opportunities through online surveys and workshops.
