Title
Jordan. Ghawr as Safi, launch event for the masna' as sukkar archaeological site
Description
The USAID Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through Engagement of Local Communities Project, implemented by ACOR, supported and participated in a number of special events, high-level meetings, lectures, and conferences from 2014 – 2018. Such events provided opportunities to exchange knowledge, develop and present policies and guidelines, plan collaborations, and strengthen the community of practice around Jordan’s heritage. Under the patronage of HE Dr. Monther Jamhawi, the Director General of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, and HE Ambassador Alice Wells of the USA, a site launch for the sugar factory in Ghawr as Safi was held on March 12, 2017. At the beginning, the guests toured the Museum at the lowest point on earth at Ghawr as Safi; a detailed explanation from the curator of the museum was given to the guests. The guests then visited the archaeological site, where Project Director Dr. Konstantinos Politis briefed them on the history of the site and the new trails and signage installed at the site with SCHEP support. After the site launch, SCHEP held a ceremony at the Museum at the Lowest Point on Earth to distribute certificates to the trainees under the SCHEP grant for the Ghawr as Safi project.
