CPD Ukraine – Program on Integrated Heritage Recovery

Open Call for CPD Ukraine – Continuous Professional Development Program on Sustainable Development with Heritage. 

A one year program for architects and planners that aims to enhance a capacity to coordinate recovery with a respect for people’s memory and knowledge of heritage protection in urban planning. The program is organized in six events where the participants will take part in seminars on heritage and memory as a resource for democratic planning for a sustainable rebuilding in Ukraine. It will include workshops about the pilots that the participants bring to the network. We will discuss integrated approaches where heritage recovery is combined with sustainable development thinking on links between social and ecological concerns and share examples from Ukraine, Europe and Sweden. The participants will get support to develop their ideas for pilot projects with colleagues from all Europe.

The program includes free study trips to Sweden, Germany and Lithuania to meet colleagues and learn directly from the source about practices in those countries. A requirement is that the participants can spare time to prepare their presentations for the workshops in their workplaces.

The program is a part of the Ureherit project, organized by Architects Sweden and Union of Architects Ukraine. Participants in the program will get direct access to all the resources in the Ureherit network such as mapping and assessment methodology in heritage protection and development, architectural design competitions and urban forums as tools to mobilize local community participation, conservation technologies for modernist heritage and critical theory of heritage in sustainable development.

The CPD program will act at large, and advise on pilot projects to connect them to expert and financial networks in Europe. The program has been developed in a prestudy with practitioners and researchers on architecture and urban planning in Ukraine. See report on needs for capacity building.
