Sean O’Reilly said: ‘This free online access to our 2025 Virtual School, on 13 June, is an important investment by the IHBC in the future of conservation.’
‘Informed by our own ongoing Charter explorations, we’re keen to advance our leadership in interdisciplinary built and historic environment conservation. This initiative offers the chance for hard-pressed educators, learners and networks to access our learning at a time when even the cost of an online event can be prohibitive.’
So if you are on a conservation or related course, just let your Course leader know of your interest. Hopefully they have received the update and can pass on your booking code.’
‘If there’s any issues, just email Lydia at admin@ihbc.org.uk by 11 June, with your course details, and she’ll send on the code you need.’
The IHBC writes:
… a short IHBC update on … offers and developments… especially for CCDF members and networks.
These include a special offer of free access to the IHBC’s 2025 ‘Virtual School’ – to join in online for that special day of practice-based learning, on June 13 – to both the CCDF network members AND any of your students, especially those on IHBC Recognised Courses.
For this year too, we’re also extending the reach of our celebrated Student Award programme to include relevant courses across all of Ireland.
