"SAVING THE STONES - An International Conservation Internship Program

Based in one of the oldest port cities in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the program is designed to provide a solution for the existing shortage of skilled personnel who have undergone practical training in conservation. Managed by the International Conservation Centre, Citta' di Roma, Saving The Stones opens the gate to future conservators from a variety of disciplines. This five month program is taught in English and generous participation grants are offered to young people from all over world by MASA - Israel Journey as well as by the International Conservation Centre itself.

As part of the program, the participants join the Israel Antiquity Authority teams of conservators, architects and archaeologists that work in Acre and gain experience in ancient masonry work and other ancient building materials. The interns are exposed to all conservation procedures - historic documentation, survey, treatment planning, and actual conservation work. Interns get to "try their hand" at many of the diverse areas that conservation work encompass: fresco treatment, building conservation using materials and techniques similar to the original materials and methods that were utilized in antiquity, etc.

One day a week is dedicated to touring on-going archeological excavations, getting a 'behind the scenes' glimpse of the archaeological activity and meeting with professional people that are prominent in the field. Participants also contribute to community activity, working on conservation projects with Acre's Arab and Jewish schoolchildren.

Admission requirements to the program appear at the following internet site www.antiquities.org.il/akko.
For more information email the International Conservation Center: shelley@iccakko.org"
