FIAF Training & Outreach Programme
The FIAF Training and Outreach Program was established in 2016 to formally and consistently continue the work FIAF had done in the field of training and support for decades through past or current programs (the TC training initiative, the FIAF Summer School now held in Bologna, the Film Archives in Africa Programme, the “Escuela sobre ruedas” programme, etc).
The main goal of the FIAF Training & Outreach Programme is to meet the identified worldwide needs for education and training in the areas of film and moving image archiving, management, preservation, digitization and exhibition.
In September 2016, FIAF appointed David Walsh, former Head of Digital Collections at the Imperial War Museums and of the FIAF Technical Commission, as FIAF Training & Outreach Coordinator. He retired at the end of 2024 and was succeeded in April 2025 by Lisabona Rahman.
In order to deal with the many different requests for assistance received from archives and archivists by the FIAF Secretariat more effectively and more fairly, we have developed a fillable PDF form (available in the three official FIAF languages below) which anyone needing assistance in any of the multiple areas of support which we hope to provide will be able to fill out and return to us. Once the form received, we promise to get back to you as soon as possible.
If you have any questions on the FIAF Training & Outreach Programme or the fillable form, please contact us at training@fiafnet.org.
