Saving the Stones

Program Description

Apply your academic knowledge in Conservation, History, Art, Design, Archeology, Architecture, Middle Eastern Studies, Museum Studies and Religion through a practical internship. Study ancient stones and building technologies, work alongside Israeli conservation specialists and archeologists and learn about renowned historical figures, nations, cultures and religious movements which have left their mark in Israel.
 
This internship serves as a feeder for jobs in this field. Saving the Stones provides hands-on experience as well as a theoretical background in conservation and preservation of historic sites. Gain an understanding in conservation methodology and theory, develop basic conservation skills, and expand knowledge of conservation as you gain expertise in the field. The program is a joint project of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the Old Acre Development Company, and the Acre Municipality, and is sponsored by the Israel National Commitee to UNESCO.
