Join us at Monte Alban, the spectacular World Heritage Site in
Oaxaca, Mexico, to explore multifaceted and contemporary approaches
to sustainable heritage stewardship in historic and archaeological
sites. Monte Alban is recognized by UNESCO as one of fourteen sites
worldwide that serve as models for site management planning. It
offers an exceptional laboratory for assessing strategies that emphasize
effective planning, services, and fidelity to authenticity within
the site while responding to demands and uncertainties from an array
of external interests.
This innovative and intensive course combines workshops, site visits
in and around Monte Alban and Oaxaca, and learning activities that
strengthen your ability to:
- analyze the values and the social, economic and environmental
dynamics that create a context for site stewardship
- assess both the opportunities and challenges that sites face
in serving their communities
- consider the logistical requirements involved with site stewardship,
public programs, and visitor services
- develop site management plans that stress sustainability and
community engagement
- implement management and staff development systems that are
appropriate to your site, community and resources
