This course has been developed within the IHEA – Share Africa program, with the aim of training professionals capable of operating in complex geopolitical and cultural contexts, through the enhancement of heritage.
The course explores the role of geopolitics in international cooperation, with particular attention to sustainable development and the protection of cultural heritage in Africa.
Through an analysis of global actors, economic dynamics, and cultural conservation strategies, the course provides tools to understand the impact of international policies on the African continent.
Topics such as geopolitical mapping, economic diplomacy, legal instruments, and practices for enhancing cultural heritage will be examined, with examples drawn from concrete projects and an interdisciplinary perspective.
The course leverages the expertise of professionals active in UNESCO, ICCROM, ICOMOS, UNIDROIT, Treccani, and field research, offering an interdisciplinary approach that combines legal, diplomatic, and anthropological methods.
The goal is to equip students with practical and critical tools to address the challenges of cultural cooperation and sustainable development in the African context.
