A slide from the CILIP Members Fest Event outlining CILIP's International Strategy. This stages "We are part of a global profession, united by our common values and skills. As the UK library and information association, we are committed to playing an active and engaged role in the international community. Goal 7 - We will continue providing support to the global library, information and knowledge community in times of natural or man-made disaster. https://www.cilip.org.uk/general/custom.asp?page=International." The CILIP lLIG Logo and CILIP Members' Fest logo can also be seen.

Romana Delaporte talking on at this Zoom event about the work of Cultural Emergency Response (CER). The text reads "CER funding organisation. Fast, flexible financial support to locally-led heritage protection. Established in 2003 by the Prince Claus Fund. Since 2022 independent NGO. 565 projects in 85 countries." The slide also features an image of people working on a pyramidal structure using some scaffolding fashioned out of wood.

A slide from Romana's take on "Emergence Response: emergency grants and coordination mechanism." The text says: "Emergency grant mechanism: Quick and flexible grants. Applications can be submitted all year round. Eligibility criteria: urgent, first aid activity, locally led, inclusive and living heritage. Ex. Evacuation, salvage, stabilization, improvement of storage conditions. Grants range from 5,000 - 35,000 EUR. Action plans for large scale disasters -> Joined funding Ex. Lebanon (2020), Ukraine (2022-2023), Syria/Türkiye (2023), Palestine (2024)" A community working together on a building project which also incorporates artwork can also be seen on the slide.

Another slide from Romana's talk, titled: "#2: Decentralised Response Systems: Regional Courses & Networks." The text says: "Since 2017, funders awarded over 1,400 grants worth around 400 million USD. 66% of funds flow through wealthy-country or international organisations. Including regranting: >75% bypass local communities. How to improve access to funding? Funding Manual: coming soon. How can we support our network when a response is needed? Development of Mobility grants." The slide also includes a world map at the top right with many location pins across many continents showing where the funds are used. There is also a chart at the bottom right comparing "most challenging" (blue) and "most time-consuming" (red) aspects of application writing. The two highest pairs of bars are for "Review and analysis of the guidelines" (red is highest) and "Planning and organizing the budget for a project." (blue is highest). Other categories include communicating heritage, developing an activities plan, and demonstrating team expertise.

A big thank you to Romana from Cultural Emergency Response (CER) for shedding light on some critical, locally-led, work happening in conflict zones. A truly enlightening #CILIPMembersFest26 session. Thanks to all those who attended today too 👏

A recording from the event will be made available soon.
