Above all, we hope you – and your family and staff – are in good health.
A new situation calling for new measures. We all recognize the unprecedented situation that the worlwide COVID-19 crisis is having on your work, domestic and social structures, all of which are being impacted. The whole ICA team has switched to homeworking but even remotely, the team spirit persists. Our overriding message to all of the ICA network is: stay at home, but stay connected! The ica.org website remains open during this period and we remain available by email, telephone and videoconference.
To allow you to improve your skills…
Supporting you in developing your professional skills is particularly important to us at ICA. This is why we have developed an online training programme in 2019 which we plan to complement in 2020. Two courses are currently available in both French and English:
Introduction to Records Management
Understanding and Using the Universal Declaration on Archives
In these complicated times, the role of archives and records services should not be underestimated, so why not learn more about the Universal Declaration on Archives and the important role played by our institutions?
ICA provides the opportunity to enhance your skills and offers, at an exceptional price, the chance for you to gain a deeper understanding of the Universal Declaration on Archives and how it is not only relevant but also useful not just for the international archives and records community but also for society as a whole.
This course will give you a better understanding of how the Declaration can be used to support records and archives management work, accountability, transparency and memory.
Special price for Understanding and Using the Universal Declaration on Archives : 50€
