About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in cultural heritage protection and disaster relief. She's here to talk about an exciting new course she's involved with. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to discussing the Certificate Programme in Cultural Heritage Protection and Disaster Relief. HOST: Could you share some personal experiences that led you to this work? GUEST: Absolutely! I've worked on archaeological sites around the world, and natural disasters often pose significant threats. Witnessing firsthand the impact on cultural heritage drove me to focus on protection and disaster relief. HOST: Fascinating! What current trends do you see in this field? GUEST: There's growing awareness of the importance of protecting cultural heritage during crises. More organizations are incorporating disaster response strategies into their management plans. HOST: That sounds promising. But there must be challenges. Can you tell us about any you've faced or seen in this area? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of resources and trained professionals in disaster response for cultural heritage sites. This course aims to address that gap. HOST: That's why your course is so crucial. How do you see the future of cultural heritage protection and disaster relief? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased collaboration between heritage professionals, emergency responders, and policymakers. This will lead to more effective protection and preservation efforts. HOST: It's been a pleasure talking with you, Dr. Smith!
