Background

The main goal of this activity is togive additional education to students in order to participate in research, protection and presentation of cultural heritage (departments of history, archiving, art history, architecture, archeology, restoration and geodesy) and at the same time raise the awareness of the citizens about cultural sites with a relevant historic value. Part of the workshop is dedicated to the presentation of results – in the form of presentations and an exhibition of posters destined to a professional public. This is complemented with a cultural program (professional lectures, excursions, etc.). These workshops are held in cooperation with ICOMOS Slovakia.
