The participants receive training on cutting-edge technologies used worldwide in archaeological documentation. Additionally, this project introduces the trainees to the international law concerning the protection of cultural heritage in conflict zones and the safety and security guidelines for cultural heritage professionals in contested regions.<\/p>\n<p>Activities<br \/>1. In cooperation with the Birkbeck, University of London, SIMAT organized an online training for its team inside Syria, the Idlib Antiquities Center, and a number of volunteers. The training was delivered through a number of lectures presented by international experts in the field of emergency protection of cultural heritage. The training focused on the following themes:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Safeguarding of cultural heritage and the role of the local community in its protection during armed conflict. The lecture was presented by Dr. Will Wootton and Dr Hiba Alkhalaf \u2013 University of London.<br \/>\u2013 First aide intervention in times of emergencies. The lecture was presented by Dr. Alaa Al-Habashi \u2013 Cairo University.<br \/>\u2013 Risk assessment and management, and the principles and risks of emergency evacuation of artifacts, presented by Abdul Hamid Saleh.<br \/>\u2013 Engaging the local community in the protection of cultural heritage, presented by Heba Abdel-Gawad \u2013 University of London.<br \/>2. SIMAT has also organized further training for its team inside Syria on the projects that it undertakes. For example, as part of the Protection and Documentation of Qalaat Simon Project, the team was trained on using the Geographic Information System to map and document the site using ArcMap software. The team was also trained on using and analyzing aerial and satellite images, and the training was delivered by Youssef Anan \u2013 Free University of Aleppo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;3563,3565,3561&#8243; orientation=&#8221;portrait&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; caption_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; pagination_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;700ms&#8221; animation_speed_curve=&#8221;ease-in&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_radii_image=&#8221;on|4px|4px|4px|4px&#8221; box_shadow_style_image=&#8221;preset2&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal_image=&#8221;-1px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_image=&#8221;-4px&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background In its approach to preserving the cultural heritage in Syria, SIMAT is committed to build and enforce the capacities and skills of the archaeologists working in the protection of cultural heritage inside Syria.
