Urban Heritage Strategies for African Cities
This Urban Heritage Strategies short course consists of two parts. Part I will be offered remotely (online) in June 2026. Part II is scheduled to take place on campus (on-site) in the Netherlands in July 2026.
This course is tailored to the historic cores of African cities. Urban professionals working in African cities are invited to apply for this course. More specifically, urban professionals from South-Africa, Ghana, Egypt and Morocco (being partner countries in the Dutch policy framework on International Heritage Cooperation), are invited to apply. During the course one historic site from each partner country will be used as a learning case. The case sites addressed are respectively: Constitution Hill in Johannesburg (South Africa), Forts and Castles and their urban surrounding (Ghana), the historic quarter of Cairo (Egypt), the Medina of Rabat (Morocco).
The Dutch government offers a full tuition fee waiver and financial support for travel and accommodation to selected participants from South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, and Morocco. Selected participants from other countries are not eligible for a tuition fee waiver but will receive financial support for travel and accommodation.
