The IHBC has just launched the first website resource to document its annual ‘Conservation Course Connection Day’ programme, featuring the third such day in 2015, which includes films, downloads and other resources and links to help guide early career and other interests seeking a better understanding of historic and built environment conservation, so offering alternative and accessible new routes into understanding what conservation is and how it works!
IHBC’s interim Education Committee Chair, Henry Russell, who is featured in some of the recordings, said: ‘The IHBC’s Course Connections Day experience provides an excellent forum for conservation courses to interact with the IHBC. The dialogue works both ways: conservation students learn about working in conservation and how the IHBC can help their careers, and the IHBC gathers valuable insights from students about how to improve its career support.’
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly, who viewers will see led the day along with other staff from the IHBC’s National Office, said: ‘This new website offers a whole new suite of accessible resources and, hopefully, inspiration, for anyone exploring how to develop their jobs, careers and roles in built and historic environment conservation practice.’
‘Whether you are a career ‘starter’ or ‘changer’ – and moving into conservation practice – or someone just exploring what it’s all about, this is a very different but still hugely accessible way to join in the experience of our Conservation Course Connection Day experience’.
‘We’ve got film presentations, downloadable papers, features from students, web links and much more for you to get a sense of the day.’
‘And you can also see just what the IHBC can offer to anyone interested in heritage conservation practice learning and practice, as well as find out more about the huge diversity of the heritage world and some its many players.’
Linked IHBC resources and support include:
