  • Heritage, Risk & Resilience
    IHBC Annual School – Nottingham 2019 Heritage, Risk & Resilience confronting conservation calamities Full School: Thursday 4 – Saturday 6 July Day School: Friday 5 July Follow us on: nottingham2019.ihbc.org.uk #IHBCNottingham2019 #heritageatrisk Welcome to this year’s IHBC Annual School The Annual School looks at the potential impact of fire, flood, structural failure and other disasters, both man-made and natural, on historic buildings and the historic environment. It explores developing practical solutions to help protect buildings and areas from threat and to deal with the consequences when disaster strikes. • Preventing and dealing with the aftermath of fire - the single greatest threat to heritage ; what’s lost is gone forever and irretrievable but historic buildings are still burning down too often. • Managing flooding - its prevention presents unique challenges for heritage assets from the sensitive design of flood resilience in the historic built environment to the response to flooding events and their aftermath. • Coping with structural failure - the challenge of structural failure of heritage, looking at best practice and new technology in engineering projects. • Working with heritage at risk - digital technology for future proofing against disaster. • The impact of terrorism prevention in historic areas - considering the complex legal framework that underpins heritage, including the legal consequences of the destruction of heritage and the legal powers for saving those in disrepair. • And a story of when it all comes right in the end – rebuilding Stoke Rochford from the ashes. Nottingham, Queen of the Midlands, offers a surprising historic core in which all the main events of the Annual School are held. Known as a ‘Victorian Lace City’, it is so much more besides.

  • Fosac Schools Projects 2021
    NOTTINGHAM FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE AND CURIOSITY SCHOOLS OFFER 2021 INTRODUCTION The Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity takes place each February with the aim of celebrating and breaking down barriers to STEM engagement in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The festival programme includes public events for families in city centre and community locations as well as events for adults. Each year, we deliver a range of projects focused on schools designed to promote curiosity and encourage all pupils to see science as something 'for them'. 2021 FESTIVAL The next festival will be taking place 10 - 17 February 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will look slightly different; we will be using digital technologies where necessary and adapting to changes in restrictions as they come. Our schools projects have been designed so they can be adapted digitally, and we have consulted with teachers to develop an offer that provides support that's not disruptive and can be adapted to suit the changing needs of teachers and pupils. Our schools projects are open and free to all schools in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire as well as home educated children. All of the schools participating in projects with the Festival of Science and Curiosity will be invited to showcase their work at the Real Science in Schools Symposium. This event is an opportunity for pupils to come together to share their investigations, learn from their peers and meet inspiring local scientists. In 2021, there will be two Symposia: one at the Nottingham Council House on Thursday 11th February and one at Mansfield Central Library on Friday 12th February.
