Cultural heritage - a bridge to peace ?

Artifacts and mosaics in Syria

For over a decade, a wide range of actors have fueled chaos in and around Syria, triggering a devastating humanitarian crisis. Beyond the human toll, the war has also led to the destruction of countless cultural heritage sites. Yet amid this turmoil, a small number of dedicated actors have worked tirelessly to safeguard what many of these divided communities still share: their cultural heritage. In 2020, Fight for Humanity, ALIPH Foundation and their local partner, Orient Association, conducted a project that combined restoration work with efforts to address the local unemployment rate. How can the protection of heritage become a foundation for future peace? To explore this question, settle in, get comfortable, and dive into this compelling conversation with our guest speaker Mehmet Balci. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
