The Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH) will be organizing an online webinar: Cultural heritage and people – building resilience in the superimposed trauma on 21 December 2020 at 11:00 – 15:00 (CET), within the framework of the Conference: Integrated Reconstruction and Post-Trauma Impact on Communities and Socio-Economic Aspects of Recovery.

The first webinar: Cultural heritage and people – building resilience in the superimposed trauma, will contribute to the search for efficient, sound and sustainable solutions. Some of the most vulnerable heritage sites have been affected by new disasters in 2020. One – and sometimes more than one – devastating events superimposing over the other, and affecting both people and heritage, the global economic recession, limited physical communications, and extreme health precautions are appealing for the urgent response. Restructuring knowledge, capacities and resources have to be considered, as well as redesigning reconstruction and recovery concepts and priorities.
