Community Museums provide tangible evidence of Sudan's rich history and cultural diversity and point the way to its cultural future. This webinar presents the WSCM project dedicated to supporting the protection, post-conflict recovery, and restoration of three Community Museums in Western Sudan, enabling them to provide for the educational and cultural needs of their communities. The project aimed to help ensure the museum buildings and enclosures are protected and fit for purpose, their contents are conserved and recorded, their displays attractive and engaging for communities because these were well researched, explained, and designed. The project also aimed to set standards, in three cultural hubs, of expectation and goals for government support, internal and external funders.

Every year, significant cultural heritage resources, in different parts of the world, continue to be vulnerable to fire risk. Often perceived as a rare risk, large fires are far more frequent if we consider the number of incidents at a national or international level. The ongoing pandemic and ensuing social, as well as political upheavals have further exacerbated the risk.

Following ICCROM’s International seminar “Heritage on fire: who ́s next? Fire risk management for cultural heritage" held on 26 – 28 June 2019, in Rio de Janeiro – Brazil, this webinar will discuss the magnitude of the fire risk and how institutions can enhance both prevention and preparedness by organising joint online simulations with civil defence, disaster risk reduction and heritage institutions in times of COVID-19. A multidisciplinary panel will present the first of its kind national simulation, held virtually, in Estonia. 

The webinar is organised within the framework of ICCROM’s flagship programme on First Aid and Resilience in Times of Crisis (FAR). It is the eighth in the series of webinars on Heritage and Pandemics, and highlights the collective experience of FAR alumni network at ongoing multi-hazard risk management amidst COVID-19 restrictions. ICCROM is grateful to all its partners and in particular to the Swedish Post Code Foundation for enabling this exchange.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to confront critical questions and decisions concerning our future and the role of cultural heritage in it. Looking ahead, the post COVID-19 phase provides an opportunity to ‘build back better’ by rethinking and further strengthening the role of heritage in sustainable development, in line with the UN 2030 agenda. Nevertheless, this will require the heritage sector to reconsider its position and proactively take concrete steps to advance social, environmental, and economic sustainability. The webinar will address this issue, with particular focus on museums and their collections.
