Training is the alpha and the omega of preparedness. Workshops are a powerful capacity-building tool for raising awareness, developing skills and creating momentum. The nation-wide workshops led by the Research and restoration centre of the museums of France - C2RMF is a striking example of the way training can give impulse to make preparedness policies a reality and not just a possibility, providing museum professionals a step-by-step guidance to draft a Safeguarding Plan.
