ICOMOS Lectures - Engaging Communities in Religious Heritage - LIVE in Amsterdam 15 February 2023
Dear heritage colleagues and friends,
We kindly invite you to our second ICOMOS Netherlands lecture evening, which will focus on community engagement in religious heritage in the Netherlands, with the project Heilige Huisjes Rotterdam (Holy Houses Rotterdam) as a focal point. Three speakers will share their experience in this project and discuss what approaches are needed to engage new and unlikely audiences with houses of worship in the city.
Unlike the online lectures, we have a limited attendance capacity. We can only accommodate 30 people. For that reason, we ask you to register for attendance. Please use the registration form through this link. Here you can also register for the preceding drinks and a meal.
Attendance is € 5,- (be it, only for non-members; for ICOMOS members, attendance is free of charge). If you join the preceding drinks and meal, you are charged € 15,-. All payments can only be made by bank transfer on the spot.
We hope to welcome you to this live event in Amsterdam, for an engaging discussion on the future of religious heritage in the Netherlands!
Kind regards,
ICOMOS-NL lecture committee
Ankie Petersen, Ardjuna Candotti, Anna Lauwerse, Daan Lavies, Jacomine Hendrikse, Jean-Paul Corten, Maurits van Putten & Remco Vermeulen
