SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE COURSE
ASSESSMENT MODULE
This module will begin on 17th July 2023.
I. INTRODUCTION AND MODULE OBJECTIVES
Welcome again! The Sustainable Heritage Management Executive Course entails an online-only assessment process. This competence-based assessment process aims to support heritage professionals to benchmark their skills and knowledge in heritage management against the UNESCO Competence Framework for Cultural Heritage Management. It has been developed to recognize one’s prior learning and experience as well as ability to apply newly gained competences.
The assessment process will help you to:
– Gain understanding about core skills and knowledge required for sustainable heritage management
– Understand their strengths and weaknesses in sustainable heritage management
– Identify gaps in competences that require further training and development
As a participants to this assessment module, you will be undertaking a Capstone Project, which is a self-directed practical exercise in applying the Core Competences in the context of your heritage site and home organization.
The Capstone Project consists of following items:
- Individual Portfolio (Use Word template, submit by 24 July 2023)
- Sustainability Action Plan (Use PPT template, max 15 slides – submit by 31 July 2023)
- Organizational Competence Development Plan (Use PPT template, max 8 slides – submit by 31 July 2023)
The objective of this activity is to demonstrate your understanding of the Core Competences in your current work and strengthen your heritage site management to conform with sustainable development principles and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
You can submit your work by uploading the above items to your individual folder prepared by the organizers. Please make sure to adhere to the deadlines to allow smooth assessment process to follow.
After submission, the teaching teams will provide feedback through an assessment process (presentation, interview, and written test) scheduled in August 2023. Requirements are detailed below:
- Written test: This will consist of multiple choice/short answer questions that could assess your knowledge on the five categories of the Core Competences. You will be shared access to an online test link from 1 Aug to 5 Aug 2023.
- Interview: You are invited to an individual interview session with a group of teaching team (10 minutes per person). The questions will be based on the portfolio items that you have submitted. The interview sessions will take place on 12 Aug and 20 Aug as per your selected timeslot.
