    The module begins with a basic introduction to the broad topic of cultural heritage protection, based on its historical development and selected legal principles. Representatives of UNESCO, OSCE and INTERPOL, among others, will present their activities in the field of cultural property protection, while representatives of the EU will anchor the topic in the European Framework and Training for Cultural Heritage Protection. Challenges posed by illicit trafficking in cultural property and current (armed) conflicts will be discussed, as well as the role of cultural property in building confidence during and after conflicts.

    The structured scenario training "The Ancient Temple", specially developed for this module, requires a high level of problem-solving skills and sensitivity from the participants. The objective is to facilitate collaboration between all organisations involved in a disaster situation that also (but not exclusively) affects cultural property, in order to optimise the protection and preservation of cultural property.

The MCP International Cultural Property Protection is aimed at anyone interested in the protection of cultural property who is committed to improving their knowledge and skills in this field and who is looking to make an important contribution to the protection and preservation of our cultural heritage. It is particularly aimed at professionals in the field of cultural property protection, members of the military and police forces.
