A Story of Change, takes us on-the-ground, where the ICCROM course participants could put theory into action with ALIPH seed grants ranging from USD 2500 to USD 10000. The support provided for 16 initiatives includes first aid protection measures for heritage buildings in Iraq and Yemen, the rescue of archives in Libya, and support for intangible heritage like poems, songs, dances and silversmith traditions in Iraq, South Sudan, and Yemen. These projects reflect the breadth and diversity of cultural heritage in the regions and the strong commitment of a new generation of professionals to protect heritage, foster dialogue and build peace.

Capturing local voices on how they use and regard heritage in peace and conflict is the focus of our newest Tool, Community-Based Heritage Indicators for Peace, developed by ICCROM’s First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crises (FAR) Programme.
