This webinar series are the regional collaboration between ICIP of ICOMOS Malaysia, Pakistan and the Philippines.

Tuklas Pilipinas Society is a non-profit organisation that aims to spread awareness of archaeological heritage in the Philippines through alternative education and public archaeology. The group has been adapting lessons from Interpret Europe for Heritage Interpretation strategies, which they have also integrated with their own ideas. This presentation discusses various examples of public archaeology conducted by Tuklas in the Philippines, that have been effective in engaging local communities in heritage management and preservation of their archaeological sites. The different projects of Tuklas have close involvement of the local and national government. With this, the group has been able to review the government’s implementation and initiatives. As with most public archaeology efforts, Tuklas emphasizes the importance of close interaction between the local community, archaeologists, and heritage practitioners in the course of their work.
