Open Heritage Trainings on Adaptive Reuse

OpenHeritage offers a training program developed and carried out by Eutropian and Platoniq which will take place from mid-October until mid-December and will be held every 2 weeks, starting from the 19th of October 2021. This series of training modules are aimed at professionals (e.g. city officials, urbanists and other experts, as well as stakeholders from outside of the EU, or partners from other EU projects working on cultural heritage, etc.) involved with Heritage Protection and Adaptive Reuse.

Modules

The modules will cover each of the following topics: Heritage Reuse, Finance, Governance and Community Involvement, as well as Territorial Impact.

In each workshop, participants from different backgrounds and disciplines will go through and study a number of Observatory Cases, focusing on given themes for the first four workshops, and integrating all subtopics in a final, fifth, module. Each module will have an approximate duration of 2,5 hours with approximately 20 participants from a variety of countries.

Participation in the training is free of charge; but the number of are limited
