CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP FOR CHAPTER AND INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS

Aim

Every year IHA conducts Workshops for Chapters and their members to introduce the aspects related to understanding (listing, documenting) and conserving different kinds to heritages – natural, architectural, material and intangible heritage and all related issues.

Content

We explore the key issues – what is heritage, why does it matter, how do we value the past, what is of significance in this value system, who are the stakeholders in the field of heritage conservation and what roles various people and organizations perform within it. We also discuss the concepts of tangible, intangible and living heritage and debate about the future of the past. The discussions illustrate the process for Listing and Documentation of heritage and the ways in which legal and administrative approaches may be taken up for the protection and safeguarding of this heritage. Community involvement is crucial to INTACH’s activities and we demonstrate case studies where this has been achieved in a substantial way with the help of specially designed field visit and sessions.
