الربط بين النظرية والتطبيق: الإسعافات الأولية والمرونة للتراث الثقافي في أوقات الأزمات  (FAR)

FAR

تُصمم دورات الإسعافات الأولية والمرونة للتراث الثقافي في أوقات الأزمات (FAR)، على المستوى الدولي أو الإقليمي أو الوطني، بهدف تعزيز القدرات في مجال إدارة مخاطر الكوارث على جميع الأصعدة، ولا سيما في المناطق الأكثر عرضة لها. وتدمج هذه المبادرات متعددة الجوانب بين البحث العلمي والتدريب والتطبيقات الميدانية، بدءاً من اختبار الاستراتيجيات المجتمعية لإدارة مخاطر الكوارث، وصولاً إلى تقديم تدريبات متخصصة.

تهدف دورات الإسعافات الأولية والمرونة للتراث الثقافي في أوقات الأزمات (FAR) إلى بناء شبكة عالمية متينة من "المسعفين الأوليين للثقافة" وقادة التغيير. حيث يسهم هؤلاء الخبراء في إدماج الاعتبارات الخاصة بالتراث الثقافي ضمن جهود الحد من مخاطر الكوارث، وإدارة حالات الطوارئ، والتكيف مع التغيرات البيئية، والإغاثة الإنسانية وتحويل النزاعات، بما يضمن أن يكون حفظ التراث جزءاً أساسياً من جهود بناء القدرة على الصمود.
