The HERITAGE Managment Organization, The Academic Research Institute in Iraq, and the Iraqi Library and Archives announce a call for applications for training in preventive conservation, climate change adaptation, project management, and fundraising.
The courses, spread over 12 months, will include a week of in-person training in Sulaymaniyah in May 2025, October 2025 in Basra in October 2025, Erbil in January 2026 and Bagdad in April 2026, with online sessions and tutorials in between. All travel expenses will be covered, and the students will be provided with the necessary materials to implement practical projects in their institutions.
At the end of the training, the participants will be able to:
- independently undertake preventive conservation projects in their institutions, and train others.
- lead their institutions in climate change adaptation actions, including climate-related risk preparedness, and introduction of environmental policies.
- write proposals and manage projects.
The project is made possible with funding from the US Embassy in Iraq.
