HERITΛGE was established in November 2008 with the goal of enabling key heritage managers, through targeted training, to independently transform heritage assets from decaying objects of study to dynamic sources of learning, community identity and economic development.
HERITΛGE trains professionals in the management of heritage sites, independently of project specifics. Training practitioners in the essential skills and best practices which define heritage management is at the heart of the HERITΛGE mission.
Since its founding HERITΛGE has trained hundreds of individuals and organizations in more than 95 countries and is now on course to impact a quarter of global heritage hotspots by the year 2025.
