Join The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of
Victoria in Monte Alban, the spectacular World Heritage Site in Oaxaca,
Mexico, to explore multifaceted and contemporary approaches to
sustainable heritage stewardship in historic and archaeological sites.
Monte Alban is recognized by UNESCO as one of fourteen sites worldwide
that serve as models for site management planning. 

Approaches to Historic Site Stewardship: Perspectives from Monte Alban
offers participants an exceptional laboratory for assessing strategies
that emphasize effective planning, services, and fidelity to
authenticity within the site while responding to demands and
uncertainties from an array of external interests. This innovative
seven-day travel workshop combines site visits in and around Monte Alban
and Oaxaca and learning activities that strengthen your ability to: 
* analyze the values and the social, economic and environmental dynamics
that create a context for site stewardship 
* assess both the opportunities and challenges that sites face in
serving their communities 
* consider the logistical requirements involved with site stewardship,
public programs, and visitor services 
* develop site management plans that stress sustainability and community
engagement 
* implement management and staff development systems that are
appropriate to your site, community and resources
