UNESCO Conventions for Non-Lawyers, July 13-17, 2010

UNESCO Conventions for Non-Lawyers
July 13-17, 2010
University of Queensland, Australia

We have been working for some years to familiarise cultural professionals who are not lawyers with the contents and impact of UNESCO conventions and policies on the protection of heritage.

There will be a one-week professional development course on the international legal standards and practices for heritage protection at the University of Queensland from July 13-17, 2010.

Earlier courses at ANU and UQ have included anthropologists, archaeologists, an economist, journalists, a conservation expert, public servants working in the heritage area, a textile expert and other creative artists as well as museums staff. The course is designed to be accessible across a wide range of professional skills and the interchange and different perspectives of the students is one of its strengths. We have also had students from Hong Kong, Italy, Japan,Thailand, United States and Viet Nam.
