Ukraine’s first national team of “cultural first aiders” has been established. 23 heritage professionals from 11 oblasts recently completed ICCROM’s First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis (FAR) program and are now equipped to assess, mitigate, and reduce disaster and conflict risks to all types of heritage amid the ongoing armed conflict.
For more information on the team and this training program, please see the news release on ICCROM’s webpage.
