Many thanks to all who attended last week’s webinar, “How Does the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Protect Cultural Property?”! The U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield would especially like to thank Sharon Nicastro for sharing her years of experience and knowledge with all of us through her very informative presentation and answers to questions.
If you missed the live event, the webinar was recorded and is now available to watch here.
Please join us next month for another webinar on November 19th, “Heritage in Crisis and Conflict: Canadian Considerations for Cultural Protection.” Please register here in advance of this webinar!
