Dr Naima Ben Kari, The Cities of Mzab:..........
The Conference Programme aims to bring together regional teams and experts who have collaborated with the Network or undertaken well defined to develop its research agenda, developmental studies, and implementation programme. It brings to a conclusion the first Phase of the ENGAGE Network global research programme and contributes to building the Network research programme that is driven by the local knowledge, understanding of challenges and potential opportunities. It will draw on lessons learned, and knowledge exchanged amongst local and regional teams, with a particular focus on the needs of local communities, stakeholders, and policymakers, to sustain and build upon relationships to develop a peaceful and productive engagement that benefit heritage sites, practices, and communities across national and regional borders.
The Programme of the Conference comprises 3 days of research panels, presentations, and debates. Those will take place virtually for the ENGAGE Network Hubs in the UK, Iraq, India, Tunisia, and Egypt.
