International Law and Cultural Heritage

— Teaching and training program

Our teaching and training program fosters ethical leadership and rigorous professionalism in the Culture sector, with an emphasis on law and policy development.

The first phase of our program (2019-2022) focuses on facilitating knowledge transfer and capacity building in our region among Indigenous peoples and small island States, and women and girls in the field of cultural heritage protection.

The UNESCO Chair is affiliated with the Institute of Cultural Heritage Law at Renmin Law School, Siena-Tulane Cultural Heritage Law Summer School, and the Art Law Summer School hosted by the University of Opole.

We welcome enquiries concerning applications for our specialist undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses.
