Workshops

Annual workshops have been held in South Africa in successive years to take up specific cultural heritage issues such as oral history methodology, disaster planning, copyright and intellectual property that have been identified in consultation with SANC to review project performance, refine the program agenda, and identify candidates for future training opportunities. Such meetings significantly strengthen the coordination of this program and further an international discussion of national heritage studies issues.

In addition, these meetings will provide opportunities to continue conversations among South African cultural organizations begun during the November 1999 Workshop, the first time that many representatives of these institutions had engaged in face-to-face discussions of cultural heritage training issues. These annual workshops assist our partners in transcending existing barriers to communication and also serve to extend the training opportunities provided by the Institute to a broader range of cultural workers in South Africa. Faculty from the workshop has been drawn from United States and South African participants.
