CONF: 6th International Field School in Museums and Sustainable Heritage Development
Vietnam, 11th to 30th January 2010
http://www.uq.edu.au/emsah/index.html?page=66307&pid=20385
The Field School is facilitated through a formal framework agreement between the Director General of the Vietnam National Department for Cultural Heritage and the President and Vice Chancellor of the University of Queensland (UQ). It is now an integral part of the extensive engagement of the UQ with Vietnam. You can examine the two related documents on the above web page.
A formal evaluation of the Field School was conducted by the UQ through its Teaching and Educational Development Institute in early 2009. The full evaluation report can be accessed on the web page including comments by 25 participants from 15 countries.
Past participants include Masters students, M Phil and PhD candidates seeking Advanced Study Options or formal field work research induction, graduating students who wish to develop practical cross cultural understanding through a course as their final year of study; and employees in the heritage, museum, gallery, library, archival, environmental and cultural economic sectors seeking a certified Professional Development Program.
Alumni include graduates and researchers from a range of study areas: education, anthropology, archaeology, history, environmental sciences, conservation of cultural materials, art history, community development, creative arts and so on. Several artists and heritage professionals have also participated.
The Field School is a deep transformative learning experience and not a study tour. It is based on a decade of applied research and practical project implementation in Vietnam by the Convener and several decades of research and sustainable heritage development leadership of leadingVietnamese scholars and professionals who contribute to the program.
Annual cohorts are targeted to include participants from 8 to 10 countries to create an immersion learning environment as an international cross cultural exchange program. There are 10 partially subsidised places available to be filled by the 1st of October 2009.
