Explore how cultural heritage is governed across global and local levels, from UNESCO to community-led initiatives.

Students will tackle urgent issues like museum decolonization, illicit trafficking, and heritage’s role in sustainable development, grounded in real-world case studies from Strasbourg.  By the end, you’ll be equipped to critically assess heritage governance and rethink its future in a changing world.
