🔵 The Case of Notre-Dame de Paris and Ukrainian Experience 🔵 Join Us for the Third Webinar of the "Architectural Heritage Preservation in Times of War: The Ukrainian Model" project, titled "Digital Documentation of Heritage for Restoration and Reconstruction of Damaged Monuments" War leaves deep scars not only on people but also on architectural heritage. How can destruction be documented in a way that serves as a foundation for future restoration? What should the priorities be in rehabilitating damaged sites? These questions will be explored during our project's third webinar. Experts will discuss effective methods for documenting losses, transforming this work into evidence of war crimes and a resource for post-war reconstruction. Particular attention will be paid to combining the documentation of material damage with the preservation of intangible heritage and the communities’ traumatic experiences. Speakers: ▪️ Dr. Lindsay Cook, Assistant Teaching Professor of Architectural History in the Department of Art History and Co-Director of the Consortium for Early Modern & Medieval Studies at Penn State University. ▪️ Vasyl Karpiv, Restorer of monumental art, member of the national executive committee of ICCROM Ukraine. In 2011, in Lviv, he founded the KARP Restorer restoration bureau specializing in researching, conserving, and restoring Ukraine's built cultural heritage. Language: English with simultaneous translation to Ukrainian.

Happy Thanksgiving 🎉 Thanksgiving, as celebrated today in the U.S. and Canada, is deeply rooted in the history of harvest festivals—events that honor abundance, gratitude, and community. Its origins trace back to the 17th century when Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a feast in 1621. This tradition has since evolved into a day for reflecting on blessings and expressing thanks. From the stories we pass down to the recipes we cherish, Thanksgiving embodies the heart of cultural heritage—honoring the past while creating new memories for the future. 🍂 What are you most thankful for this year? 🔗heritagemanagement.org #Thanksgiving #heritagemanagement #heritage #culturalheritagemanagement #culturalheritage #heritagenation #culture #intangibleculturalheritage #heritagemanagementorganization #unite4heritage #heritage4generation
