I will focus on strengthening ISC20C’s educational and professional development activities while expanding the dissemination and practical application of the Committee’s key guidance documents.
My priorities for the 2026–2029 term include:
• Developing and coordinating education and training initiatives, including seminars, workshops, courses, and webinars in online, in-person, and hybrid formats, addressing current challenges and emerging issues in twentieth-century heritage conservation.
• Actively engaging ISC20C members, associate members, and Emerging Professionals (EPs) in knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, and interdisciplinary learning activities.
• Promoting wider awareness and use of key ISC20C documents, including the Madrid-New Delhi Document, Cadiz Document, and the 20th-Century Historic Thematic Framework, through targeted outreach and dissemination activities.
• Building stronger connections with public authorities, heritage institutions, universities, professional organizations, and other stakeholders involved in the management and preservation of twentieth-century heritage.
• Supporting and strengthening the ISC20C Emerging Professionals Working Group, fostering meaningful participation, international networking, and professional development opportunities for the next generation of heritage experts.
Through these initiatives, I aim to help make ISC20C a leading international platform for education, knowledge exchange, and professional excellence in the conservation and management of twentieth-century heritage.
