ENCATC Workshop: Mediation in Historic Places

The aim of the workshop was to analyse the service offered to visitors at heritage sites, to explore the terminology relating to heritage mediation at an international level, to share and disseminate experiences and case studies which illustrate good practice, and to review the training programmes available in this area.

The Director of International Activities of the International Rivers and Heritage Institute, Vincent Rotgé, took part together with Marielle Richon, from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, in a series of sessions devoted to heritage mediation in international projects. After the presentations, the participants examined together the advantages and feasibility of developing a joint project/programme on the subject of mediation at heritage sites.
