Heritage, Sustainability, and Innovation: The Future of Cultural Preservation in Africa.
Join us for an engaging seminar with Dr. Tokie Laotan-Brown, an expert in Architecture, heritage management and sustainability, as she explores the critical intersections between cultural preservation, sustainable practices, and innovation in Africa. Dr. Laotan-Brown will share insights from her work with UNESCO and ICOM OS, discuss the challenges of decolonizing heritage, and highlight the potential of heritage trails and community-led initiatives to promote economic and cultural revitalization. This seminar is a unique opportunity to learn about the transformative power of heritage in fostering sustainable development and elevating African narratives on the global stage.
