Friends of Archaeology
Mechanism of Operation

Relations with other national and international organizations:
Friends of Archaeology cooperate always with local governmental organizations specially the ministry of Tourism and the Department of Antiquities in the preservation , protection and promotion of the archaeological site in Jordan. Also the Society is a member at the IUCN and other NGO’s working in the field of environment, and FoA is a member of the Jordanian NGO’s coalition for Environment and Heritage. FoA also a member at the ICOMOS since 2000 and participated in the establishment of the Jordan Architectural Heritage Society in 1995-6. 

The local Community needs
The local community in Jordan lacks the knowledge and the interest in the archaeology and history of Jordan due to the little information they get about this issue and especially in the curriculum given to students in schools. The Friends of archaeology tries to cover this gap by conducting several workshops, lectures and field trips to school students to spread awareness among them about the importance of our cultural heritage. In addition of publishing articles about this issue in our monthly newsletter.
