Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous Cultures - Workshop

The University of Queensland (with the Romualdo del Bianco Foundation) is conducting a course entitled ‘Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous Cultures’ in July 2012, in Florence, Italy that will explore the fundamental concepts underpinning cultural heritage management within the context of Indigenous cultures.  The course will take a strongly practical approach, exposing participants to the statutory frameworks and heritage challenges of such places as Australia and the Pacific, North and South America, and South Africa, particularly as part of the mining and major development industries. ‘Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous Cultures’ will be an intensive, exciting and thoroughly rewarding workshop series of direct application to students of archaeology, anthropology and cultural resource management, in addition to mining industry professionals and heritage practitioners of all backgrounds. Heritage students and professionals interested in working in developing countries will find the course of particular interest.
