As part of the SAHRA Heritage Month 2025, the South African Heritage Resources Agency is hosting a series of virtual seminars. This year’s webinar, under the theme ‘Resilient Heritage: Safeguarding South Africa’s Legacy in a Changing Climate,’ takes place over four days in a fully virtual format. The program aligns with broader G20 theme of Climate Change and Resilience, reflecting the commitment to engaging with global conversations on sustainability, climate adaptation, and cultural preservation.
On 18 September, the SAHRA will in particular focus on colonial collections and restitution, during the webinar ‘Restitution of Cultural Property’, bringing together global voices to explore pathways for return, protection, and circulation of cultural heritage. This dialogue will reflect on international best practices, highlight Africa’s experiences in restitution, and consider how G20 collaboration can strengthen policy, diplomacy, and ethical stewardship to include voluntary disclosures by the host/holding countries. By engaging experts, governments, and heritage practitioners, the webinar seeks to advance a shared commitment to justice, reconciliation, and sustainable cultural heritage management.
The full programme of this virtual seminar is available below.
