Safeguarding and Rescuing Archaeological Assets (SARAA) project is led by the BIAA in partnership with Lebanese NGO BILADI. The project expands upon the results of the Europa Nostra Award-winning Safeguarding Archaeological Assets of Turkey (SARAT) Project, and facilitates international knowledge exchange between Turkish and Lebanese heritage professionals.
The SARAA Project will work with heritage-emergency trained individuals in Lebanon, former and current CPF-funded projects in Lebanon and Turkey, SARAT online course graduates and stakeholders to share knowledge and best practices. Course materials from the SARAT project (https://saratprojesi.com/en/our-work/online-course) will be adapted with the collaboration of Lebanese academics to suit the context of Lebanon and used to train heritage professionals in the region. These resources will be publicly available in both Arabic and English.
