Training Workshop on Disaster Risk Reduction for UNESCO Designated Sites in the Mediterranean
14 November 2015 @ 0:00 - 15 November 2015 @ 0:00
The workshop intends to bring heritage professionals from Malta and the targeted countries in the Mediterranean in order to provide them with the knowledge on current thinking, methods and tools available for identifying, assess and manage multiple natural-derived risks and preparatory measures to mitigate their impact and harms both at material and human level in the UNESCO designated properties.
The methodology used is based upon the World Heritage Manual on disaster risk management. Using the Manual and analysing the specific context of the selected sites, a broader framework will be developed. This will be done through an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together Civil protection representatives with WHS managers working in teams with dedicated in-class and in-field exercises. The work done will constitute the basis to deliver a final presentation at a conclusive workshop scheduled at the end of the training. Finally, trainees will be praised with personal certificate of attendance.
