+CIE’s work is grounded in a participatory, community-centered approach to heritage. With a strong emphasis on co-creation and inclusive dialogue, CIE supports communities around the world—particularly those recovering from conflict or disaster — in safeguarding their heritage and using it as a tool for resilience, peace-building, and sustainable development. Through educational programs, site documentation, and cultural policy advising, CIE facilitates long-term local engagement while also fostering international exchange. The organization leads training initiatives, organizes cross-cultural heritage projects, and contributes to global discussions on ethics, capacity-building, and community empowerment. Their projects span tangible and intangible heritage and reflect a belief that heritage work must be grounded in social justice, human rights, and collaborative learning. As such, CIE operates as both a knowledge hub and a field-based actor, bridging theory and practice in heritage documentation and activation.
 A cornerstone of this collaboration is the **digital preservation of cultural heritage**, using advanced tools such as 3D scanning, immersive media, and digital archiving. These technologies enable the creation of highly detailed records of artifacts, spaces, and traditions, safeguarding cultural assets for future generations while expanding global accessibility. The goal is not only to protect heritage but also to reimagine how it can be experienced, allowing students, researchers, and the public to explore cultural history in interactive and thought-provoking ways.
