Join us for a day of critical discussion and networking—help impact the future of 20th-century heritage practice in the Nordic region!
The 20th Century Historic Thematic Framework (20cHTF) is a new tool developed by the Getty Conservation Institute and ICOMOS IS20C. Designed to assess and interpret 20th-century built heritage, the 20cHTF is vital to help us update and broaden how we designate heritage, ensuring it reflects the full complexity of the 20th century—an era of remarkable progress and humanity, but also the dawn of the Anthropocene.
This seminar emphasizes Nordic perspectives bringing together experts and practitioners from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ă…land, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Denmark to examine how the 20cHTF can shape conservation practices and policy-making.
Together we will learn and discuss why and how to apply the 20cHTF in a Nordic context and discover Nordic perspectives on 20th-century heritage, with case studies and discussions led by regional experts.

PROGRAM
ABOUT THE VENUE
The seminar will be held at the former LO-School in Helsingør, a listed building and architectural gem that embodies the values of the Scandinavian labor movement. A fitting backdrop for our discussions on 20th-century heritage.
Konventum, the former LO School (1969), stands as a testament to the political significance of the Danish workers’ movement in the 20th century. Designed by architects Karen and Ebbe Clemmensen together with J. Heger, the complex was built as a conference and education center to empower workers through knowledge and organization.
Its architecture, with its stimulating recreational environment, facilitates both formal and informal meetings, embodying the movement’s ideals of solidarity, collaboration, and social democracy.
