Objects from Indigenous and World Cultures Working Group online workshop, 20 September 2024

The Objects from Indigenous and World Cultures Working Group will hold an online workshop on 20 September 2024, addressing: 

Cultural Management as a fundamental axis for raising awareness among Indigenous communities; Conservation and Restoration of the Church and Cultural Heritage of Levanto - Amazonas, Peru

"La gestión cultural como eje fundamental para la sensibilización de la población de Levanto - Amazonas".

The workshop will be held in Spanish.

Date: 20 September 2024. 
Event time:  9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Peru (check for your local start time)
Venue: Zoom platform; link will be sent to registered participants

We have limited the workshop to one hour, as we are conscious of the many commitments each of us may have.

This will be an informal event, starting with a presentation from a professional conservator on professional experiences in Amazonia. The presentation will be followed by a discussion with participants.

The workshop is a free event, open to all.

It will be recorded. For privacy reasons, the recordings will only be accessible for a limited time (20 September - 20 October 2024), only for the pre-registered participants. 

Registered participants will receive a Zoom meeting link shortly before the event.

Please do not share the Zoom link; instead encourage interested parties to register using the form to be found at:
