Jordan’s Cultural Caretakers — SCHEP Launches “Site Steward” Program

In July 2015, ACOR hosted a workshop as part of SCHEP’s new “site steward” program, which empowers local community members to care for and preserve Jordan’s cultural heritage sites. Ten young Jordanians received training in cultural heritage best practices, antiquities laws and regulations, and the role of communities in protecting heritage sites.
