Building a sustainable future for WWII heritage starts with knowledge and collaboration. Through expert-led training, workshops, and peer-to-peer learning, we equip professionals with the skills and strategies needed to integrate sustainability into remembrance tourism. Join us to gain practical insights, exchange experiences, and take action for a more responsible approach to heritage management.
The PPSF Training Programme comprises a series of three in-person Capacity Trainings & Study Visits:
Each workshop focuses on different dimensions of sustainable remembrance practices. The workshops are designed to build on each other with complementary learnings in each one, and are supported by related E-learnings, mentoring and peer learning. Each participating organisation in the PPSF Training Programme must therefore join all three workshops, with the same staff member attending each time to ensure they can follow on build on their learning from each session.
More information about the trainings and the topics covered is available further down this webpage.
In order to make the Training Programme as accessible as possible, there is no cost to participate, however participating organisations will need to cover your own travel and accommodation expenses. For LRE Foundation members, accommodation will be paid for and organised by the project.
