Learning outcomes: |
Knowledge After the course students will know: • what elements constitute cultural heritage, • which architectural objects and urban plans in Poland are on UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List, • what are the List of Historic Monuments and Memory of the World International Register and give examples, • that preservation of cultural heritage consists of a range of actions related not only to monuments, • what cultural landscape is and identify its elements, • what “reading” cultural landscapes means and what its aim is, • what order in cultural landscape is (and results from), • main deeds concerning preservation of cultural heritage (including cultural landscapes). Skills After the course students will be able to: • justify putting objects on UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List and read their cultural codes, • identify components of different kinds of cultural landscapes, • justify putting objects on the List of Historic Monuments, • indicate nearby objects that could be taken under consideration of preservation, and recommend forms of this preservation. Attitudes After the course students will be expected to: • perceive various aspects of cultural heritage, • knowledge and accept the fact that a particular object can be of different value for various (groups of) people, • understand that conservation is definitely not a complete form of preserving heritage, • notice their own opportunities to promote cultural heritage and conduct different forms of education enabling residents of Poland to perceive it and be aware of its importance. |
