Sharjah24: The Regional Office for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage (ICCROM-Sharjah), in cooperation with the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation (ALECSO) and the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, are pleased to invite you to the 4th Arab Forum for Cultural Heritage (2023), held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, from 29 to 31 May 2023 at ICCROM-Sharjah, Centre of International Cultural Heritage Organisations (Sharjah-United Arab Emirates).

The 3-day forum will discuss the notion of the culture of built environment (omran) and explore the role of communities in building cultural heritage resilience. It will highlight the ways communities can safeguard cultural heritage and consider the role that culture can play as a tool for resilience-building and preservation of historical environments – before, during and after a crisis.

The sessions of the second and third days will start at the same time, and continue until 5:00 p.m. The forum will conclude on Thursday, 1 June 2023, with a closing session at 9:30 a.m. to present outcomes and recommendations.
