This webinar offers an overview of an initiative to embed sustainability principles and practices into cultural heritage conservation education.
Funded by the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities, this collaborative effort is being driven by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)/Getty Conservation Program, Mexico's National School of Conservation, Restoration & Museology (ENCRyM), and The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education, based in New York.
Inspired by the formation of a Community of Practice focused on sharing ideas for embedding education for sustainability principles and practices into course activities and lab experiences, the work aims to create a foundational guide to weave together conservation and sustainability principles to be taught concurrently, rather than as an “add-on”.
Speakers include Justine Wuebold from the UCLA/Getty program, Marlene Sámano from ENCRyM, and Jaimie Cloud from The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education.
