Abstract (in English)

Education on Conservation and Restoration as well as vocational training on the same subject consists a basic condition for the safeguarding and enhancement of the cultural heritage for coming generations. To save the heritage, a wide range of professional categories: architects, engineers, archaeologists, architectural historians, town planners, etc, must obtain through higher education and specialization courses, the necessary skills to carry out relevant responsibilities and be capable of teamwork and cross-disciplinary communication. At the same time, the role of authorities responsible for legislation, norms and planning is crucial, and the sensitization and appropriate information of residents, is essential. Consequently, not only specialized professionals but also politicians, administrators, investors, property owners, as well as general public and especially young people and children, need to be subject to a continuing education, in order to acquire the necessary qualifications to promote the heritage conservation. The learning process must cover all levels of education beginning from the general education. In Greece, general education offers occasionally to young students some opportunities raising awareness on safeguarding heritage. In higher education Technical Universities or Technical Departments, as well as Technological Institutions, comprise in their curriculum the question of restoration and redevelopment of historic buildings as well as the question of upgrading historic entities and public space.
