In step with the peacebuilding process whilst acknowledging the intricacies of conflict

Recognising heritage and its value to cultural systems, nation-building and social reconstruction.

Advocating the social-economic potential of developing culturally significant sites after catastrophes

Addressing HLP challenges during recovery and stabilization stages after conflict or other forms of violence.

““whatever is true for space and time, this much is true for place: we are immersed in it and could not do without it. To be at all - to exist in any way – is to be somewhere, and to be somewhere is to be in some kind of place”.

"No one therefor can conceive anything, but they must conceive it in some place”.
