Rethinking Cultural Heritage in Southeast Asia: A Case Study From the New Nation of Timor Leste

该项目将有助于东帝汶文化遗产的经济和社会可持续保护。项目人员与东帝汶社区和政府机构之间的合作将促进两国之间的善意、加强联系和增进跨文化理解，对东帝汶国民进行遗产评估和管理技术培训也是如此。项目成果的传播还将增进澳大利亚对东帝汶境内社会和文化问题的了解，并提高澳大利亚在海外的形象。

The project will contribute to the economic and socially sustainable conservation of cultural heritage in Timor Leste. Collaborative work between project personnel and Timor Leste communities and government agencies will promote good will, strengthen ties and enhance cross-cultural understanding between both countries, as will the training of Timor Leste nationals in techniques of heritage assessment and management. Communication of the results of the project will also enhance Australia's understanding of social and cultural issues within Timor Leste and raise Australia's profile overseas.
