This initiative aims at ensuring that they are able to participate fully as presenters, contributors and colleagues, bringing their perspectives into global discussions on cultural heritage and its potential in a post-conflict process of peacebuilding and reconciliation.

We are running a crowdfunding with a 10,000 EUR target to be reached by 1 June 2026. Your contribution is fundamental to help remove these barriers and ensure that our field remains inclusive, diverse and representative.

Your donation will contribute directly to applicant's annual meeting registration, travel costs and accommodation.
