Allier la théorie et la pratique : Aide d’urgence et résilience pour le patrimoine culturel en temps de crise (FAR) 

FAR

Les cours FAR (Aide d’urgence et résilience pour le patrimoine culturel en temps de crise), qu'ils soient internationaux, régionaux ou nationaux, sont conçus pour renforcer les capacités de gestion des risques de catastrophes à tous les niveaux, en particulier dans les régions à haut risque. Ces initiatives à multiples facettes intègrent la recherche, la formation et les applications sur le terrain, allant de l'expérimentation de stratégies de gestion des risques de catastrophes axées sur les communautés à la mise en place de formations spécialisées. 

Les cours FAR visent à créer un solide réseau mondial de "secouristes culturels" et d'agents du changement. Ces professionnels aident à intégrer les considérations relatives au patrimoine culturel dans la réduction des risques de catastrophes, la gestion des urgences, l'adaptation aux changements environnementaux, l'aide humanitaire et la transformation des conflits, en veillant à ce que la protection du patrimoine soit un élément clé des efforts de résilience.
