International Conservation Center Field School

Summer Conservation Field School
International Conservation Center - Citta di Roma
Old Acre, Israel
June 22-July 23, 2015

This five-week immersive conservation field school encompasses the
complete built heritage conservation process through hands-on
experiential field work on the historic Ottoman period seaside
fortifications.  Taught by veteran practical conservators of the
Israel Antiquities Authority, the program focuses on on-site
fieldwork from survey and planning through active interventions.

Who should attend?  The field school is open to participants who
have completed at least their second year of university studies, in
all educational backgrounds.  Little to no experience is necessary,
but an interest in practical conservation and the preservation of
built heritage is paramount.

What will I gain from the program?

        An understanding of the complete conservation procedure
        through the implementation of a practical real-life project

        Theory and application of built heritage conservation
        through direct interaction with the site

        A real contribution to the conservation of a high profile,
        significant heritage site

        Work experience alongside conservation specialists,
        archaeologists, and architects of the highest professional
        level within the framework of the Israel Antiquities
        Authority

        Familiarity with built heritage and history of Israel and
        the Mediterranean region

The program will be structured as approximately 60% field work, 20%
classroom theory and discussion, and 20% site visits and study
tours.  Classroom elements will be held at the International
Conservation Center - Citta di Roma in Old Acre, and field work will
take place at the nearby site.  Study tours will take place at
heritage sites throughout the country including: Caesarea, Beit
She'an, Avdat, and the Old City of Jerusalem.
