Educational programmes, architectural and archaeological conservation projects will be presented in the first day as evidence of successful experiences, with a subsequent round table for an open discussion. We have allowed also enough time for coffee breaks and working lunches so to enable the maximum time for interaction and exchanges between the speakers and all the participants in the Symposium. During the second day there will be a series of local visits and the ICOMOS CIF members will attend the Annual General Meeting to report on and review past activities and to set the agenda for the coming year.
We have established the programme to cover a variety of experiences, approaches, methods and instruments. We would also like all the attendants to actively contribute to the Symposium, so please send to ICOMOS CIF Bureau: cif@icomos.org any relevant information and experiences you may have about the Symposium topics. All the submission will be reviewed and the selected material will be discussed during the round table and included in the Symposium Proceedings. Further information will be made available in the ICOMOS CIF website: https://cif.icomos.org
