For its fifth session, the University summer school is introducing a new format by offering a travelling event organised from the 26 to the 30 September, and including a one day field trip.
The University of Tours in collaboration with the Val de Loire
Mission and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, is organising a five
day travelling “Val de Loire – World heritage”
summer school in Tours, and Nantes via Angers, on the theme
“Rivers and heritage: identification, protection and
development.”
This event, labelled European summer school by the Ministry
for Education, carries on the work of the four preceding “Val
de Loire – World Heritage” summer schools organised in
2002 in Chinon, in 2002 in Tours, in 2003 in Saumur and in 2004 in
Orléans.
This fifth meeting will tackle the follow
subjects:
- What is river heritage?
- The natural, environmental and landscape heritage of rivers.
Vulnerabilities and protection.
- What public institutions are needed to manage these vast and
fragile spaces?
- Relationships with the river : practices, perceptions and
imaginary
- Management tools for the conservation of estuaries
- Cultural heritage and river navigation
- Identification and promotion of cultural heritage associated
with rivers
In addition, the travelling format of this year’s
summer school along the Val de Loire marks the launch of
l’Institut
international fleuves et patrimoine, the International Rivers
and Heritage Institute.
This new body for training and expertise is in effect tasked
to coordinate the competences developed in the Val de Loire in
matters of managing the heritage of river corridors in order to
make this knowledge and know-how available for everyone at a
national and international level.
If you wish to participate in this summer school, download the
enrolment form and the pre-programme.
