Series on the Management and Conservation of World Heritage Sites

Training Workshop on World Heritage Sites Management

- their Tangible and Intangible Aspects

Date: 12 - 16  March 2006

Application deadline: 15 January 2006

Venue: Hiroshima, Japan

The UNITAR Hiroshima Office for Asia and the Pacific (HOAP) training Series on the Management and Conservation on World Heritage Sites (2003-2006) aims at a better use of the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention by supporting national policy-making and planning, and facilitating exchange of information on best practices and case studies.  Values-based management methodologies were introduced in the first workshop of the Series in 2004 and have been further refined in consecutive workshops.

The 2006 workshop in this Series will be organized from 12 to 16 March in Hiroshima, Japan. It will focus on tangible and intangible aspects of World Heritage sites.  Study tours to two World Heritage sites in Hiroshima, the A-Bomb Dome and the Itsukushima Shinto Shrine, will provide additional case studies and learning opportunities.  The topics of the workshop will include, inter alia:

• World Heritage regime and its application to the Asia-Pacific region;

• Values-based management of World Heritage sites;

• Tangible and intangible aspects of natural/cultural World Heritage sites;

• Hiroshima World Heritage sites and study tours;

• Values-based management planning.

Faculty and Target participants

The faculty will consist of natural and cultural resource management experts from around the world. In particular, UNESCO and its World Heritage Centre, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and Hiroshima University and Hyogo University are UNITAR's main partners in this endeavour.

The participants will be selected in priority from among potential or actual heritage site managers, natural/cultural conservation specialists, trainers, decision makers and government officers within national World Heritage administrations (i.e. Ministries of environment, culture or forestry).  Few slots will be made available to representatives of national academic institutions, think-tanks and other representatives of civil society. Officials working on World Heritage nomination projects/tentatively-listed World Heritage sites will be given priority.
