    A bigger net for heritage skills

    THE Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Commonwealth Heritage Skills Training Programme was recently launched at the Commonwealth Secretariat in Marlborough House, London SW1. This project, organised by the Commonwealth Heritage Forum and supported with £4.5 million from the Hamish Ogston Foundation, is the largest programme of its kind ever undertaken.

    Over the next five years, it aims to help Commonwealth countries to develop the range of specialist skills needed to protect their heritage. Through targeted courses, it will train up to 600 people in about 20 specialisms, from stonemasonry to joinery. The programme will be delivered by both UK and international partners, including The Prince’s Foundation, the World Monuments Fund India and other international institutions. It will also provide bursaries, MA scholarships and online courses.
