From illicit trafficking to deliberate destruction, cultural heritage is often overlooked in times of armed conflict. Yet beyond stones, monuments, and sites, what is at stake is collective memory, identity, and social cohesion. This podcast explores how wars and crises threaten cultural heritage, and, crucially, how heritage protection can become a tool for dialogue, peace, and reconciliation. Drawing on concrete field experiences from the NGO Fight for Humanity, the episodes examine how cultural property can be safeguarded while simultaneously fostering social cohesion in divided societies. Students of the University of Geneva collaborated with the Geneva-based NGO Fight for Humanity with the aim of promoting the topic of cultural heritage protection through the creation of this podcast.
