#HeritageintimesofCOVID
COVID19 Pandemic
We are in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis, affecting our lives, our livelihoods, and the social and cultural fabric of society. COVID is impacting our movable, immovable and intangible cultural heritage and will continue to do so in coming months.
At the same time, while we face this extraordinary situation, cultural heritage is also proving to be powerful means for coping, by providing communities with psycho-social support and in some cases also providing livelihood opportunities under severe limitations. As we pass through this crisis and successfully emerge from it, ICCROM is committed to supporting heritage custodians around the world.
This is a space for ICCROM’s extended community to come together and share knowledge experience and tools to overcome this crisis. The tips and tools gathered here have been put together through our alumni network. We expect to post more information as we receive it.
