Value-based Heritage Management in Canterbury
Friday, 5th of May 2017
Venue: The Learning Lab
Address: The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, 18 High Street, Canterbury, Kent CT1 2RA
Abstract
The workshop will extend over a half-day period and will be structured to include general presentations and small group discussions. The presentations will be based on values and a theoretical model for site management planning that advocates active participation of stakeholders and the assessment of values and significance as central elements of the process. The presentations will include case studies (local or from different parts of the world) which illustrate the practical development and implementation of site management plans in complex social and political environments. Structured small group discussions where participants can debate and expand on issues emerging from the presentations and the case studies will follow. Participants will also focus on the World Heritage Sites of Canterbury, as an exercise regarding the identification of stakeholders and the role of values in management decisions. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of barriers to the application of integrated planning in the region and recommendations for the way forward.
A reception will follow the workshop which is for the presentation of promotional materials for the Via Francigena (Canterbury to Rome), Cultural Route of the Council of Europe.
