🌐 Last day to register to join us in celebrating the culmination of the 2025 International Exchange Program! We’ll hear all about each intern’s historic preservation preservation project and their global adventures. Here’s a sneak peek from Audrey who spent the summer working with the Kosovo Council for Cultural Heritage!:
“At the end of August, I participated in the Kosovo Council for Cultural Heritage's workshop on the process of nominating intangible cultural heritage (ICH) for permanent protection. At this
workshop I presented my research on international best practices in nominating and
safeguarding ICH. The presentation was followed by a roundtable discussion on common challenges in the governance of ICH in Kosovo and beyond.
The course of my research was guided by many insightful conversations with cultural heritage
professionals across Kosovo. I’m incredibly grateful for their generosity in sharing their time,
knowledge, and perspectives. Yesterday also marked the final day of my internship in Kosovo. I’m sincerely thankful to the Council for this opportunity and for making me feel so welcomed from day one. I am returning home with greater professional experience in my field alongside so many beautiful memories. I would be remiss not to also thank the organizers of Hiking Kosovo for creating countless opportunities to visit some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Faleminderit shumë!”
