A joint event by FRH and ACMC
The transition from an academic environment to a workplace where knowledge is a put into practice is not always easy. This online event will explore the intersection of theoretical frameworks and practical applications in heritage conservation, an often debated but under-addressed topic especially relevant for emerging professionals leaving the classroom and entering the professional world.
On the one hand, Bert Ludwig, Director of European Heritage Volunteers, will talk about the educational activities offered by this long-established organisation to young people seeking practical training or the development of new skills in heritage conservation and traditional handicrafts.
This presentation will be followed by the testimony of a young heritage professional, Alice Jungblut, who will share her vision of the challenges faced by young professionals and give us an insight into her recent work in southern Brazil.
This is a joint event by Future for Religious Heritage (FRH) and the Arts Cultural Management Conference (ACMC).
IMPORTANT: This event has been postponed to Wednesday, 22 January from 13:00 to 14:00 CET. Sorry for the inconvenience.
