A new recruitment for the cultural heritage volunteer school has opened in Moscow. The training in the “Restoration” direction will be divided into two courses: for beginner assistants and for experienced volunteers who successfully completed the training program last year.
Beginning volunteers will learn the basics of restoration skills and try their hand at their first practical classes. The school first opened last year. And those who completed the training then are now helping with the restoration of Moscow’s ancient monuments. In the new season, they are offered to take a more advanced program and hone their skills and abilities.
“We once again invite those who wish to gain specialized knowledge and skills in restoration craftsmanship and try their hand at real projects to preserve Moscow architectural monuments. In total, 40 lectures and 40 hours of practical classes at various city sites are planned,” noted the head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage
Citizens over 18 years of age can join the program. You must submit an application on the resource center website “Mosvolonter”. The training will be available to Muscovites who have some experience in the field of cultural heritage preservation. To participate in the competitive selection, they must correctly fill out the information in the registration form and write a motivation letter on the topic “Why should I become a participant in the cultural heritage volunteer school.” The volume of written work should not exceed a thousand characters. The organizers will contact all candidates before the start of the training.
Participants who successfully pass the selection will be added to the chat, where the organizers will post information about the planned lectures and practical classes, which will begin on June 18 and will be held on Wednesdays and Fridays from 18:00 to 20:00.
“The School of Cultural Heritage Volunteers offers unique opportunities to get involved in the painstaking and exciting profession of a restorer. Last year, 30 Muscovites graduated from the program. Participants in the volunteer corps with a specialized specialization will become assistants to professionals who regularly carry out restoration work in the city,” said
Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the capital’s Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy.
Beginning volunteers will learn about the peculiarities of conservation and restoration of monumental sculptures made of two main materials – natural stone and metal. During lectures, artist-restorers will talk about the profession and legal nuances of heritage conservation. Practical classes will be devoted to the basic principles of diagnostics of the state of preservation, general methodological approaches to the implementation of conservation work.
After the lecture course, volunteers, under the supervision of professional restorers, will be able to consolidate the knowledge they have acquired on cultural heritage sites, monumental and decorative art pieces, historical tombstones and memorial objects.
Graduates of the cultural heritage school last year will begin training in restoration workshops. They will learn about the specifics of working with archaeological objects and help specialists in their preservation. In addition, they will work with a stone historical tombstone and metal gratings discovered during archaeological excavations in the capital. Registration for graduates is additionally open on the website of the Mosvolonter resource center in the section “Events”.
Classes for beginning volunteers will be held at the main office of the Mosvolonter resource center at the address: Leningradsky Prospekt, Building 5, Building 1. They will be taught by active art restorers and specialists from the State Research Institute of Restoration.
The volunteer’s personal e-book will display the training experience under the program. In addition, volunteers will receive branded gifts.
The school was created by the capital Department of Cultural Heritage, resource center “Mosvolonter” and the Federal State Research Institution “State Research Institute for Restoration”.
Organizing volunteer activities and engaging in city events are in line with the objectives of the national project “Youth and Children” and the federal project “We are together”.
