Blue Shield UK Symposium 2025

This article was first published by Blue Shield UK.

Last year Blue Shield celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the 1954 Hague Convention together with colleagues around the world, marking the huge achievements that have been made in the protection of Cultural Property in conflict and disaster. Now it is time to look forward. In light of recent events and the ongoing concerns surrounding natural disasters, conflict and political instability, we’re seeing a rapidly changing landscape of threats to heritage, both tangible and intangible.

In light of this, Blue Shield UK will bring together heritage professionals, government, armed forces and law enforcement to discuss the future of cultural property protection (CPP) in the UK.
Date and time: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 09:00 – 18:30 BST
