#YOUNGRESEARCHERSWH- Elena Molina

Hi bloggers!


Next week we will be enjoying the 3rd International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions but now we want to introduce you to Elena Molina, a post-doc researcher working on cultural heritage, archaeological heritage particularly and education.


For more info, please do not miss out her site

After completing her PhD at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in Bioarchaeology, she has been working on sampling and analysing Organic Residues on archaeological artefacts and their context. Yet, she has also started a new research line combining education and cultural heritage. This line aimed at promoting education for sustainable development, paying particular attention to the role of cultural heritage in this endeavour.

Her case study is the city of Barcelona, where we can find the fine works of Antoni Gaudí designated as World Heritage. In Molina's view, the future of heritage research goes through investing in sustainable education. Therefore, she proposes a new approach to study the city of Barcelona that promotes activities related to education in sustainable development, particularly for children studying at secondary school.

We think this is a good standpoint to explore how cultural heritage can contribute to deliver sustainable development and we hope to see Elena Molina at the Conference for further discussing about this issue!

30th September 2017: Abstract deadline The "3rd International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions" will take place in less than one year (2-5 of May 2018) and we would like to repeat the success of previous events which were dedicated to People and Communities (2015) and Archaeology (2012). We encourage you to come with us, because it is a good opportunity to highlight the role of our Cultural and Natural Heritage in an interdisciplinary context, to share experiences with other organizations as NGOs or International Centres, even with Civil Society. After closing the voting period to decide the topics to be brought during the conference, you have decided we should focus on:  − MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING: VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. Basic and applied science, humanities, social sciences, technologies, etc. When we started with the Conferences, we were mostly concerned about the lack of a scientific-technical background emerging from many ...

Alepo antes y después de la guerra (Siria) Esta semana el Próximo Oriente vuelve a protagonizar las portadas de los periódicos de todo el mundo. Desde Centroamérica hasta China la noticia más sonada a lo largo de estos días ha sido la problemática que ha surgido entre Jerusalén y la Unesco. El 14 de octubre Israel anunció la suspensión de toda la colaboración con esta organización en represalia por la resolución que se había aprobado un día antes en la que se negaba la conexión entre el judaísmo y la Explanada de las Mezquitas, considerándolo un lugar de culto exclusivo del islam. Pero, lo cierto es que este lugar, situado al este de la ciudad y territorio palestino desde hace años, es también un templo sagrado de gran valor para los judíos, y es por esto por lo que se han sentido tan ofendidos. Debido a ello, al día siguiente el presidente del consejo pidió sus disculpas, reconociendo que nunca negaría los lazos de los judíos y cristianos con Al-Quds, y que al declararlo Patrimon...
