The event focused on the contribution of polytechnic schools, engineers and industry to the education of citizens to protect Mediterranean cultural heritage. Participants included ELAICH project partners, teachers, students and a number of additional stakeholders.
The event was dedicated to educating high schools students in cultural heritage protection. The ELAICH methodology was at the center of this event and the results of the Athens Experimental Course were part of the discourse.
The first ELAICH course was held in Athens from November 2009 to February 2010. Main topics included:
- Cultural heritage and society
- Cultural heritage protection and architecture
- Architectural values of cultural heritage: perception, documentation, design, restoration, protection
- Cultural heritage and the environment
- Historic materials and structures – pathology and decay
- Compatible and effective materials and conservation interventions
- Earthquake protection of monuments
- Sustainable preservation of cultural heritage
The event was organized by the Technical Chamber of Greece, the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the National Technical University of Athens. The first dissemination event was a great success, and included distinguished guests from the Greek education system (university researchers, senior officials from the education system, school principals and students), ministries and industry.
During the event, the conclusions of the first experimental course in Greece were evaluated and recommendations were made for further developments and better sustainability.
