The European Cultural Heritage Skills Alliance CHARTER launched its Community programme for external stakeholders interested in connecting and engaging with the Erasmus+ project.

A long-awaited international scientific conference devoted to exploring the importance of cultural knowledge and heritage in understanding and responding to the climate change challenge concluded on Friday 10 December. 

ICOMOS President Teresa Patrício travelled to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo to prepare a capacity-building workshop on the elaboration of a general inventory of the country's cultural heritage. This training will be carried out by ICOMOS, thanks to the support of the International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Zones (ALIPH) and in collaboration with the National Advisory Committee for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (CCN) of the DRC.

This year, ICOMOS took part in GivingTuesday 2021. Thanks to your donations, we have raised 15 000€ to fund the ICOMOS Culture-Nature Prize which will be awarded next year to the most promising Culture-Nature initiatives undertaken by ICOMOS members. 

A virtual international meeting, co-sponsored by the IPCC, UNESCO and ICOMOS will be held during the week of 6 December 2021 and bring together researchers, knowledge bearers and practitioners from around the world to discuss the intersections of culture, heritage and climate change
