About HEM

HeritageEducationMatters aims to share information about research and learning projects and opportunities on emerging heritage conservation and management issues, as they relate to education, training, and capacity building in the heritage field.

Heritage Conservation is Climate Action.

Heritage resources are at risk because of neglect, climate change, and lack of skills and capacity.

Cultural heritage, in all its forms and both tangible and intangible, needs to be more present in ongoing climate action discussions at decision-making tables.

Building capacity in heritage conservation is critical now more than ever before because of climate change and its impacts on people, places, landscapes, and heritage.

The importance of heritage conservation in climate action should be introduced into the training and capacity building efforts, as well as research opportunities, in order to prepare the emerging professionals with the deeper understanding, competency, and required skillsets to tackle the climate crisis that communities are facing today.

HeritageEducationMatters aspires to connect with those involved in training and capacity building in the heritage sector and raising awareness about heritage conservation and climate action.

HeritageEducationMatters invites collaboration and partnerships on relevant topics.
