Arkh\u00eanum arrived in Ethiopia just before the summer of 2023 to train the local religious communities in the digitisation techniques<\/a> that would preserve and enhance the 300 religious manuscripts dating from the 12th to the 18th century.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”05638010-77cf-486f-a2d7-830936571c70″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Sustainable Lalibela<\/em>, led by the CNRS and the CFEE, is funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/a>, the Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement<\/a>, and the CNRS<\/a>.

These churches, which have been pilgrimage sites since the 12th century, remain preserved in their natural environment, constituting a precious heritage for humanity.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”05638010-77cf-486f-a2d7-830936571c70″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]MEMORIST, through its participation in this international project, is demonstrating its commitment to the preservation and enhancement of the world’s cultural heritage, while promoting the sharing of knowledge and skills for future generations.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Are you looking for assistance with a heritage conservation project?
