Tendiendo puentes entre la teoría y la práctica: Primeros auxilios y resiliencia para el patrimonio cultural en tiempos de crisis (FAR)

FAR

Los cursos de Primeros Auxilios y Resiliencia para el Patrimonio Cultural en Tiempos de Crisis (FAR) -ya sean internacionales, regionales o nacionales- están diseñados para reforzar las capacidades de gestión del riesgo de catástrofes a todos los niveles, especialmente en regiones de alto riesgo. Estas iniciativas polifacéticas integran la investigación, la formación y las aplicaciones sobre el terreno, desde el ensayo de estrategias de gestión del riesgo de catástrofes centradas en la comunidad hasta la impartición de formación especializada.

El objetivo de los cursos de la FAR es crear una sólida red mundial de "socorristas culturales" y agentes del cambio. Estos profesionales ayudan a integrar las consideraciones del patrimonio cultural en la reducción del riesgo de desastres, la gestión de emergencias, la adaptación al cambio medioambiental , la ayuda humanitaria y la transformación de conflictos, garantizando que la protección del patrimonio sea un componente clave de los esfuerzos de resiliencia.
