ICCROM-UNESCO Capacity Building for Holistic, Sustainable, and Resilient Recovery of Mosul

The ICCROM-UNESCO Capacity Building for Holistic, Sustainable, and Resilient Recovery of Mosul is a two-year initiative aimed at restoring the cultural heritage of Mosul, a city rich in historical and religious significance. This programme, supported by the UAE and the EU, and in collaboration with the University of Mosul, focuses on community reconciliation through environmental recovery and heritage site rehabilitation. It consists of two tracks: Building Capacity for Professional Development, which trains young professionals in heritage management, and Building Crafts Revival and Upgrading, which enhances the skills of craftspeople in traditional crafts. This initiative is part of the broader “Revive the Spirit of Mosul” by UNESCO, which has already seen significant restoration projects and created employment opportunities for locals. ICCROM’s programme aims to ensure sustainable livelihood opportunities for the people of Mosul, contributing to the long-term resilience and prosperity of the city.

ICCROM-UNESCO-Fondazione Santagata Post-Conflict Recovery Summer School 2023

The “ICCROM-UNESCO-Fondazione Santagata Post-Conflict Recovery Summer School 2023” is a pioneering initiative enhancing the ICCROM Heritage Recovery Programme in Mosul, with a focus on professional development. This collaborative effort establishes an international platform for heritage professionals to explore post-conflict cultural heritage recovery using Mosul as a key case study. The programme, divided into online seminars (5-9 June 2023) and on-site sessions in Rome (27-29 September 2023), engages 24 participants in discussions and workshops. Topics cover context analysis, damage assessment, and strategic planning. The Summer School equips participants with tools for post-war intervention, empowering them to contribute to heritage recovery in regions recovering from conflict.
