CONCEPT OF THE WEBINAR

The Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH), based in in Manama, Bahrain, intends to organize an international Conference on integrated post-disaster reconstruction of cultural heritage – social, economic and psychological aspects of recovery (The Conference).

The Conference was initially planned to take place in April 2020 and was postponed to 2021 when, hopefully, some restrictions and health measures implemented during the Covid19 pandemic will be lifted. The program of the Conference includes a wide range of prominent experts and researchers who have already submitted their contributions for the Conference’s book of proceedings.

Heritage reconstruction and recovery have been marked by a number of new challenges, the majority of which are linked to the complex social and economic environments caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and health protection measures. We have decided to extend the initial scope of the Conference and make it inclusive for the discourse on emerging issues and new lessons learned during 2020 by organizing a number of webinars in the framework of the Conference.

The First Webinar Heritage and People - Building Resilience in the Superimposed Trauma took place on 21 December 2020 and produced interesting and important outcomes, which will be presented at the international Conference. The speakers were Mechtild Rössler (WHC UNESCO); Maja Kominko (ALIPH); Shadia Touqan (ARC-WH); Jonathan Edward Nsubuga (Uganda); Samira Al- Shawesh (Yemen) and Howayda Al Harithy (Lebanon).

The Second Webinar Cultural Heritage and People in the Post-Trauma Processes: Building Resilience through Integrated Reconstruction and Recovery of Heritage took place on 9 March 2021. Examples of international actions concerted with strong local and national commitment of coming to terms with past conflict through reconstruction of cultural heritage and post-trauma recovery were presented by Mohamed Khalef Al-Ghassany, Dr Abdul Shariff (Stone Town, Zanzibar); Dr Mounir Bouchenaki (Angkor, Cambodia); Dr Maria Rita Acetoso, (Mosul, Iraq. Ms. Marie-Laure Lavenir (Director General, ICOMOS International); Dr Rohit Jigyasu (Project Manager, ICCROM); Ms. Bénédicte de Montlaur (President and CEO of WMF). The speakers discussed how specific local contexts inform the initiatives to build global framework for response to the damage or loss of cultural heritage, which is a part of social and economic distress.

The third webinar will address Integrated Reconstruction of Heritage in the Post-Trauma Social and Economic Recovery in Light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and will take place on 17 June 2021. One of the key objectives of the Conference is to examine principles, policies, approaches and guidelines for integrated heritage reconstruction and recovery, which should be people-centered, context-attentive and sustainable development-oriented.T o attain this objective, the third webinar will address the potential of heritage reconstruction and recovery in the face of challenges of Agenda 2030 in the social trauma and post-trauma context. While the United Nations has established Agenda 2030 actions to reach 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and “ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality,” the concerns of disasters and armed conflicts continue. The webinar will be organized in two sessions with the following speakers: Amra Hadžimuhamedović, editor and moderator of the Webinar (Centre for Cultural Heritage, IFB); Loughlin Kealy (University College Dublin); Magdalena Marcinkowska (Delegation of the Republic of Poland to UNESCO); Christian Ost (ICHEC Brussels Management School); Zaki Aslan (ICCROM-Sharjah Regional Conservation Centre); Luna Rajab (Architects& Consulting Engineers, Damascus); Rachel Killean (School of Law Queen’s University Belfast); Marilena Kollia (Première Urgence Internationale).

The webinar Integrated Reconstruction of Heritage in the Post-Trauma Social and Economic Recovery in Light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is designed to offer background, scope and preconditions to discuss the possibility of harnessing post-trauma heritage reconstruction for the recuperation of devastated human settlements and communities towards inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable spaces, as well as a human trauma healing process.

Language The webinar will be conducted in English. Arabic Interpretation will be available.
