As a follow-up to the ITUC programme, which was concluded in the 2004–5 Biennium, ICCROM will continue to work in an advisory capacity with partners where regional ITUC activities were focused. It will work with CECI at the University of Pernambuco in Brazil as it expands its ITUC-based distance learning course in Latin America, and will also support ITUC initiatives in the Baltic countries. It will also continue to work with other countries trying to improve urban and landscape conservation issues in their countries.

ICCROM is also planning a training workshop for 2009, in collaboration with the World Heritage Centre, on the conservation of cultural landscapes. Finally, it will continue its discussions with the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) on the conservation of agricultural landscapes through the Globally Important Ingenious Agricultural Heritage Systems Programme (GIAHS).
