Description

Resilience is defined as the capacity of a system to deal with change and continue to develop. But what does this actually mean and why should we, as heritage professionals, be concerned with it? How can we apply it for heritage places? This dialogue will take you through a set of principles that are considered crucial for building resilience. Hear from four panelists on how these principles can be practically applied based on their hands-on experience working in diverse heritage places worldwide. Join this conversation on how to advance a resilience thinking approach for responding to change in heritage places.
