DIEM (Developing Inclusive Education in the Mediterranean) aims to strengthen inclusive access to education, lifelong learning, and skills development in the Cultural Heritage sector across Mediterranean countries.

As part of the project’s first-semester activities, an international workshop organised by the Lead Partner Sapienza University of Rome, in collaboration with Fondazione MeNO (PP2), will be held in Rome on 23 February 2026. The event will bring together universities, public institutions, and sector stakeholders.

Hosted at the Faculty of Architecture of Sapienza University of Rome (Piazza Borghese 9, Rome), the workshop represents a key moment of co-design and dialogue, aimed at jointly identifying training needs and strengthening synergies between academia and local contexts involved in the management and valorization of Cultural Heritage.

The event will be structured into three thematic working sessions, focused on collecting contributions and defining shared training priorities, and will conclude with a strategic roundtable discussion. This final session will play a preparatory role in the development of the DIEM transnational training system and in the definition of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) among participating institutions, supporting the adoption, implementation, and long-term sustainability of the project’s outcomes.
