The program has expanded my horizon on cultural materials conservation, from theory on what we do and why we do it, to the practical experience on handling, observing, treating, and housing objects. [It] prepared me with cross-cultural skills that are crucial for conservators in the 21st century, and the knowledge that significant objects are not only located in formal institutions, but within communities.
