WHO SHOULD GO?
IHBC Schools offer innovative insights and opportunities, and not just for specialists!
Practitioners from across and beyond the UK, working with fabric, materials, sites areas and places that make up our built and historic environment, usually dominate the delegates.
Delegates may be specialists in conservation, but many with a more general understanding of conservation practice look to the IHBC’s School for their regular update and networking opportunity.
Delegate backgrounds include:
The School particularly welcomes people working in national and local government and related bodies, private practice, education, academia, charities and other voluntary bodies.
Whether starting out on your career or are active in the wider heritage sector, there is no better way than to develop your conservation and heritage-related skills, knowledge and understanding than at our next School, in Belfast.
Enjoy being informed, engaged and above all inspired by the rapidly changing landscape of how we share and extend our roles heritage care and its impacts on the conservation strategies for the historic environment.
LOCATION AND LEARNING IN 2018
Belfast, in Northern Ireland, is the programme’s focus, a city and region where innovative responses to collective cultural opportunities have been evolving following a globally recognised legacy of social conflict. That has highlighted challenges that go far beyond the entire heritage sector and include:
The cultural legacy and richness on offer at our School goes far beyond addressing the outcomes from more recent ‘Troubles’, as tours, talks and celebrations will explore the international standing and relevance of that heritage, and how it can contribute to the future economy, locally, nationally and internationally.
Finally the entire programme sets our examination of the School theme in suitably European contexts – both as regards initiatives from across the UK, and more broadly. Cross-border issues and practice standards for heritage and historic places, both inside and beyond Europe’s own borders, are critical. But sharing locally – and across adjacent traditions and cultures – is recognised as the critical starting point to secure the cultural benefits of inclusive strategies.
Belfast and its environs is the perfect context focus to explore out themes, and its Russel Group University – Queens - the ideal venue for sharing thoughts and discussions.
