The Historic Preservation Program is a certified training initiative developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and leading Ukrainian universities. It prepares specialists to assess and plan the restoration of war-damaged cultural heritage sites across Ukraine.
The program combines academic learning with extensive fieldwork and is already contributing to real reconstruction projects, including historic buildings, bridges, and residential infrastructure. Participants work directly with preservation experts, university faculty, and local communities to develop practical restoration strategies aligned with Ukraine’s long-term recovery goals.
As thousands of cultural and historic sites across Ukraine continue to face damage from the ongoing war, the program is helping build a new generation of professionals prepared to lead preservation and reconstruction efforts nationwide.
