INTO Trustees and Executive Committee August 2015 Paper 3

SECRETARIAT REPORT AND OGSP UPDATE by Catherine Leonard, Head of INTO Secretariat

1. Collaborate and Strengthen

2015 ICNT: Catherine, Oliver and Bill have joined two ICNT Advisory Group calls since the last EC/Board meeting and Catherine continues to be involved in the local Project Board team, which has been taking up much of her time over the period of this report – advising on bursaries and speakers, delegate liaison, programme planning, fundraising, flights, promotion, dealing with enquiries, etc.

There are now over 150 international delegates registered for the conference and last week, Catherine emailed the final dozen INTO members who are not currently represented to encourage them to attend, if only in part. (See attached delegate list in Appendix 2.)

The main schedule is about to be finalised. A draft is attached in Appendix 3 although some changes have been made since last week’s edition. It also included an outline of the discussion topics for the Activity Days (Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday).

Building on the successful ‘Learning Journeys’ in Uganda and the experience of the hosts in holding internal staff conferences along similar lines, these informal, conversation-led sessions will be held at National Trust properties around Cambridge, providing space for us to talk, listen, and get to know one another.

Feedback shows that our delegates really value the inspiration that ICNT brings. We hope that this format, if perhaps new and surprising for some, will enhance the sharing of knowledge and forging of friendships that may lead to new projects and collaborations in the future.

Some sessions will be outdoors and some indoors. They will all be ‘naked’ (!) – i.e. no formal papers or PowerPoints or set speaking slots, as there are in the plenary sessions. Each will be facilitated by members of the National Trust of England, Wales & Northern Ireland team and designed to give time to encourage the sharing of perspectives. Delegates are being advised to come prepared to be involved with the discussion, debate and share their experiences.

Dora, our summer intern from the Taiwan Environmental Information Association, is collecting documents from our INTO member Trusts to form the backbone of the ICNT Toolkit, which will be supplemented by documents discussed/mentioned in the course of the conference, including a huge packet of terrific resources from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, for which we are deeply grateful.

We are now working flat out to promote ICNT here in the UK and developing communications plans for before, during and after. Oliver’s latest post, about his time working in the region, is here.

Preparations for the INTO EC/Board meetings in Cambridge continue. We are expecting the following members: Justin Albert; David Brown; John de Coninck; Emily Drani; Michaela

International National Trusts Organisation (INTO) is a non-profit organisation registered as a limited company in England and Wales

(No 06718966) and a registered charity (No 1128224). Our registered office is 20 Grosvenor Gardens, London SW1W 0DH, UK

Kubikova; Terry Levinthal; SK Misra; Simon Molesworth; Catrini Kubontubuh; Sarah Staniforth; Bill Turner; William White and Robin Yarrow.

In terms of the new Executive, we have now received two nomination forms, with the promise of one more. The deadline is not until Friday and Catherine has just sent another reminder.

It is our understanding that existing EC/Board members seeking re-election will not be required to submit nomination forms but this meeting will include a discussion about the necessary processes.

Collaboration opportunities: Secretariat energies are currently focussed, quite rightly, on our biennial conference, a collaboration opportunity extraordinaire! We are in discussions with the Czech National Trust about how we can potentially add value to their celebrations of Marie Ebner Eschenbach’s centenary (whose tomb is the location of their pilot project) next year. We are also talking to Tesouros de Galicia about an event in London marking shipwrecks in Galician waters later this year.

Institutional support for INTO members in the global south: Oliver has suggested using the opportunity of Cambridge to firm up the suggestions made by John and Emily. Certainly the information being collected by the National Trust for Scotland on how the global heritage landscape has changed since Edinburgh will inform our discussions; the best practice being collected by John Martin and Dora will be of great benefit to emerging Trusts; and Cambridge is also an opportunity to strengthen the INTO regional blocks.

Membership services and recruitment: We are delighted to welcome Manx National Heritage as Associate Members! The Membership Committee has also recently accepted an application from British Columbia’s Raincoast Conservation Foundation.

Small Grants Programme: Two, possibly three, applications have been received which are being reviewed by the SGP team.

Working holidays: Julie is about to contact the Trusts involved in the INTO working holidays programme with the timeline for next year’s holidays. It is likely that Romania will come on board in 2016 and Julie is looking for another non-CEE country to join the programme. Do let us know if you are interested!!!!

Youth research: The action plan for the MMU report has been pushed back while we concentrate on ICNT preparation. We will revisit this in the coming months.

A list of countries we have collaborated with over the period follows in Appendix 1.

2. Advocate

Advocacy planning: INTO’s Advocacy Strategy is on the agenda for our coming meeting alongside a discussion about communications coming out of Cambridge.

Collaborating with international heritage organisations: Justin Albert attended the recent conference of the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum, wearing both his INTO and NTEWNI hats. Catherine introduced him to some contacts beforehand and he met a number of representatives from the Caribbean Trusts, which we are hopeful might now join INTO. Watch this space!

We made several approaches to IUCN HQ in relation to the Cambridge Conference but were sadly not able to secure their Director General, Inger Andersen, as a speaker. However, contact has been made and NTEWNI staff also attended an IUCN event in London in June.

INTO Secretariat Report • June – August 2015 of 7

Catherine met Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović, Secretary General of Europa Nostra, in Florence last month and we are delighted that both she and Denis de Kergorlay, Executive President of Europa Nostra, will be attending – and speaking at – the Cambridge Conference. Simon will update us on the Global Heritage Alliance at the meeting. It is very exciting that the CEO of Birdlife International, Patricia Zurita, will be addressing the Conference. We hope that their story will be an inspiration to our movement – and it will also be interesting to explore the possibility of future collaboration. Undoubtedly as we interact more closely with these umbrella organisations, the question of INTO membership (of their group) and/or more formal agreements (such as an MOU) will come up. COP 21: We were allocated 4 places in each week of COP 21 in Paris, making a total of 8 potential delegates. Oliver has been leading arrangements with our member and sister organisations (including An Taisce, National Trust for Scotland and ICOMOS) as to how these places might be taken up and what our contribution might look like. Marine Protected Areas: We are pleased that co-signatories to the Great British Oceans campaign, Birdlife International and the writer George Monbiot, will be joining us in Cambridge! Oliver will attend the meeting of European Coastal Agencies and the Celebration of Coast Day 2015, organised by our members the Conservatoire du Littoral, in September in Antibes. US/ICOMOS: Oliver met Andrew Potts in Lyon last month. He had come over to UNESCO in Paris where he had presented a paper – and introduced INTO! Oliver has been liaising with him about COP21. Voice of Culture: Following the European Heritage Alliance meeting in Brussels in February, Catherine attended a ‘Brainstorming Session’ in Florence last month. Despite the rather chaotic organisation, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet other cultural professionals and stakeholders from civil society in the EU member states. 3. Communicate Messaging: Catherine is working on a communications plan for the ICNT and a longer term strategy for INTO in general. Publications: The 2014 Annual Report is now completed and we hope to have hard copies available in Cambridge. Catherine has been in discussions with Cato Barend van Schalkwyk about the possibility of designing – and producing – an INTO folder, although it looks as if this will not now be ready before September. John continues to collect ‘Best in class’ case studies for showcasing in Cambridge and building our knowledge base. Membership Survey: The National Trust for Scotland have been in contact with the INTO membership with a survey linking back to the Edinburgh Declaration. We look forward to seeing the results. Forthcoming lectures: Catherine has been invited to address the AGM of the National Trust for Guernsey in September. Catherine and Justin will be giving a lunchtime talk about INTO and the ICNT at the NTEWNI offices on Friday 14 August.


Reciprocal visiting: Discussions continue but there are a lot of hurdles to be jumped before we are in a position to announce an INTO-wide agreement. It now feels like Cambridge will be an opportunity to discuss the technicalities face-to-face, rather than make a big announcement.

ICNT video: Having completed and agreed the draft speech, we have now received the video address by HRH The Prince of Wales welcoming delegates to ICNT which we can host on our website for 3 months from 7 September.

Magna Carta: Catherine had the pleasure of representing INTO at an event attended by HM The Queen and other members of the royal family commemorating 800 years of Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June.

Website and other media: Progress continues and the stats to 6 August were:

About 3 weeks ago, Bill installed Hootsuite, a programme that manages all social media from one control panel. It is very helpful for scheduling tweets etc. He is also looking at adding Reedit and Instagram to our tool kit.

Most needed is a French language volunteer to take or both the translation reviews and the French social media. Bill is going to try to get Nathalie Bull to help on finding this person.

Dan has been advising on the look and feel of the INTO website leading up to the conference.

4. Organisational Strength

Governance: Nominations for new Executive Committee members have been requested, as noted above, and formal notice of the INTO Congress circulated.

On finalisation of our 2014 Annual Report, Catherine submitted our Abbreviated Accounts to Companies House on 10 July and our Annual Return to the Charity Commission on 16 July.


http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/local-news/magna-carta-800th-anniversary-recap-9445686

Our Companies House Annual Return, made up to 8 October must be submitted by 5 November. We will also need to formally notify them of the governance changes coming out of Cambridge.

Secretariat capacity: As noted above, Dora Hsu from the Taiwan Environmental Information Association has been helping out in the INTO office whilst on a study visit to the UK prior to the Conference. She is focussing on the Conference Toolkit as well as building capacity for the Asia-Pacific Regional Group. Dora has been hugely proactive visiting National Trust places, meeting people and other organisations in London and has even spent time with INTO members the Conservatoire du Littoral in France!

Negotiations continue regarding the Rempart intern who will join us later in the year. We have now found accommodation in Swindon and are working on the role profile, likely to be focussed on communications.

Dan represented INTO at the NTEWNI’s Away Day in London and was able to make some good connections within the Strategy, Curatorship & External Affairs Directorate.

Member growth: We continue to recruit new members in line with our strategic goal #4d) as reported above.

5. Financial Strength

Financial Report: We regret that there is no Financial Report for this meeting but can convey steady progress on membership recruitment and fundraising for ICNT, which has exceeded the budgeted target. However, given the projected conference deficit, we still need all the external funding we can muster for ICNT.

Amicus: Bill and Catherine have been developing plans for how we thank our Amicus members in Cambridge and also extending the Amicus network. Watch this space!

ICNT Fundraising: Following Catherine and David’s discussion with Amex on 8 June, we have now received a grant of $25,000 towards the conference. This is fabulous news and with Amex Foundation President Tim McClimon coming to – and speaking at – Cambridge, we hope to be able to build on this relationship.

Membership subscriptions: Jackie Hunt continues to process membership fees, mostly successfully!


INTO’s outreach and collaborative work, mid-June to mid-August 2015

Afghanistan: We were invited to provide a moderator for a showing in London for the film by Brent E Huffman, Saving Mes Anyak. This 5,000 year old archaeological site southeast of Kabul is threatened by a Chinese state-owned copper mine.

Belgium: Following a referral from the NTEWNI Chairman, Catherine has been in touch with a group in Bruges wishing to set up a ‘National Trust’ and it is fantastic that 9 people from Flanders will be coming to the Conference, including 2 representatives from our INTO member organisation, Herita.

We connected Crispin Truman of the Churches Conservation about a potential Brussels-based volunteer for the Future for Religious Heritage.

China: Catherine met author Xinran in London and she agreed to speak at the Conference. In fact, we now have our own Professor Ruan Yisan also attending the Conference, which is very exciting. They are also bringing a small exhibition on Chinese gardens.

Geoffrey has also been mobilising his China networks re attendance at the Conference, as well as Islamic Relief.

Czech Republic: Catherine attended celebrations marking the first anniversary of the London launch of the Czech National Trust together with Greg Hands MP, Baroness Andrews and Jose Hlavnicka, the Czech/Brazilian who has donated the land around the pilot project site.

France: We connected Dora Hsu of TEIA to Céline Damery of the Conservatoire du Littoral and Fabrice Duffaud of Rempart last month. Dora spent a day visited a CdL site near their base at Aix en Provence.

Rempart have been successful in their bid for EU funding (ERASMUS) for a workshop on Working Holidays in October. We are deciding how best to be represented as a partner in the project.

Georgia: Catherine and Dora had a very good meeting with Jason Osborn and Peter Nasmyth of the British Georgian Society who are hoping to establish a National Trust there. The next steps are to set out exactly how INTO could help in this process and to agree an action plan.

Germany: NTEWNI General Manager, Ana Chylak, attended the annual ‘British Weekend’ of the Rittergut Remeringhausen and spoke about the National Trust’s work and model. She reported that there was a great deal of interest in the Trust and a surprising number of supporters and people who had visited. Ana is keen to stay in touch with INTO particularly as she looks forward to her sabbatical in 2017.

Japan: We have provided Masako Yamamoto of the Amenity 2000 society in Japan with information about the NTENWI’s acquisitions policy, property management planning tools and ‘everyone feels like a member’ KPI.

Malta: Simon wrote a letter of congratulations to Din l’Art Helwa on the occasion of their 50th anniversary and we also drafted a letter for Helen Ghosh to send to Simone Mizzi who is visiting the UK shortly.

Nepal: Geoff visited colleagues in Nepal last month and also met up with the FCO team there, visiting the Kasthamandap Temple site. There has been scant follow up of the request for INTO’s help with this project, which leads us to believe that their request for £100,000 of FCO funding may have been unsuccessful.

Netherlands: Helen Ghosh will be speaking at the 75th birthday celebrations of the Gelderland Trust in November, which Catherine will also attend.

Peru: Bill is leading our work with a group in Cajamarca seeking to preserve its green valley, sharing with them the experience of the Trust movement and exploring possible ways of cooperating.

Romania: We introduced fellow Londoners Pro Patrimonio and the CNTA (Czech National Trust Abroad) to each other and look forward to some fruitful collaborations!

St Helena: We were invited to attend an event in London hosted by the St Helena National Trust on 3 July, which was attended by Martin Drury and Tim Butler.

Meeting of the new INTO Executive

Activity Days’ Discussions The three Activity Days of the conference takes you out around five of our sites near Cambridge – Wimpole Estate, Wicken Fen, Anglesey Abbey, Ickworth Estate and the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds. The format entails a number of sessions on a range of different topics that relate to the work of INTO member organisations. You’re in small groups and will attend specific sessions each day.

The format of the discussions sessions during the middle three days are conversation led and informal, with plenty of space for us all to talk, listen, and get to know one another. Some sessions are outdoors and some indoors. Each session is facilitated by members of the National Trust of England, Wales & Northern Ireland team, and designed to give time to encourage the sharing of your perspectives – so please come prepared to be involved with the discussion, debate and share your experiences; bear in mind these may just be a starting point for the session and each will be shaped by the thoughts and knowledge you bring to them as delegates.

Tuesday 8 September: Cultural Identities at Wimpole Estate / Anglesey Abbey & Wicken Fen Defining and Using Spirit of Place This discussion will explore the principle of Spirit of Place against the backdrop of internationally significant places, drawing up the wide and varied experience of our international delegates. Conservation is about revealing and sharing the significance of places and ensuring their special qualities are protected, enhanced, understood and enjoyed by present and future generations.

Using the Past to Engage with Contemporary Issues What responsibilities do we, as a movement, have for addressing contemporary issues through the lens of the past? 2015 sees a number of significant anniversaries that speak to us today. Commemoration of World War One (1914-1918) reminds us of the legacy of that conflict for contemporary geopolitics. The 800th anniversary of Magna Carta (sealed in June 1215) is a moment to reflect upon the worldwide spread of ideas and values that have shaped our politics since the medieval period.

Meeting the Needs and Expectations of Today’s Visitors Presenting coherent and meaningful stories about places, while meeting the diverse needs of our audiences, will be the focus of this session. Competition for audiences has never been keener; we need constantly to keep ahead of our rivals and be aware of the needs and expectations of visitors.

Cultural Identities and Intangible Heritage in a Homogenising World This discussion explores working with intangible heritages within the context of a globalising world. Intangible heritage is the subject of its own UNESCO convention (2003), and is a precious commodity that needs nurturing and protecting just as much as the physical heritage of places, buildings and landscapes. At the last ICNT in Entebbe, Uganda, in 2013, INTO called for special measures to protect and promote intangible heritage, especially within the least economically developed nations.

Wednesday 9 September: Growing the Movement at Theatre Royal and Ickworth What Do Young People Want From Us? With increasingly elderly populations in the developed world and large young populations in the developing world, how do we ensure our places are relevant and what cultural story are we telling our

young people? This discussion will explore both our role within this, and some of the tools and techniques INTO members have used to try to connect to younger audiences and minds.

Communicating our Brand and Cause Recent years have seen a transformation in communication techniques and tools, and this discussion will share how we are approaching sharing our messages around the world. It will also pose the question of how we create a shared understanding of the cause of an organisation – why it exists, what it does and how it does it. As a movement, what do we think is the future of membership organisations like ours? Do we understand what membership means to people and what the alternatives are? How can we better communicate our cause?

Techniques for Fundraising Fundraising is a vital element of our work around the world, and this session will explore the many ways we look to secure external funding for our work.

Working with Volunteers Volunteer involvement is one of the most cost effective ways to grow resource or “extend the budget”, and involving more volunteers helps us reach more people (growing our supporter base) and increase our relevance (as supporters help shape our work, making it meaningful to them and others). But the future “supply” of volunteers will be very different: it will be a more competitive environment with future volunteers having different expectations.

Funding our Futures; Financial Models from Around the World. We will examine how we make our places sustainable. Historically, Ickworth was one of the largest deficit properties in the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but now generates a surplus. The property gains income from many different sources: partnership agreements with third parties, residential and farm lettings, holiday accommodation, commercial income from visitors and endowment income. What wider relevance is there in these pathways to financial sustainability?

Legal and Governance Frameworks National Trusts vary in their relationship to the state: some occupying a quasi-public sector role, others wholly private and independent. With the retreat of the state from many walks of life following the financial crisis of 2008, National Trusts face both opportunities (in the form of the potential acquisition of new responsibilities formerly undertaken by the state) and challenges (given the increased pressure on resources).

Our Role as Campaigners and Trusted Critics As individual organisations, but also as members of INTO, we have a powerful voice that can shape or influence agendas on desks beyond ours. What perspectives can we share on this from the different approaches we have all tried, and where have we achieved success beyond our boundaries? What can we share about the areas we choose to speak out on, and how do we balance the expectations of our existing supporters?

Thursday 10 September: Land, Landscape and Nature at Wimpole Estate / Anglesey Abbey & Wicken Fen Adapting our Land Management to a Changing World How can National Trusts best intervene in the debates about natural and built heritage and learn from the experience of different international contexts? Threats to the character and identity of both natural and built heritage through inappropriate development are a common refrain across the INTO network. Likewise what are the approaches which help to balance the competing demands on the finite resource of land, and how do the impacts of climate change shape this? The Relevance of Agriculture and Farming With a growing population around the world, there are growing pressures on land and continual technological changes to agriculture and farming. Farming has been transformed over the centuries and decades, but what role have our organisations taken in conserving the tangible or intangible aspects of agriculture and farming, or leading the way in shaping its future. What is the expectation of our supporters regarding our role in these questions? What are the ways we can connect our supporters and visitors to understanding the impacts and opportunities that 21st century agriculture and farming presents? Landscape and Urban Scale Conservation How can we build effective collaborations and partnerships in landscape-scale or city-wide projects? Owning and managing buildings, land and landscapes is something that sets the National Trust movement apart from other charities and campaigns, but what are the methods that we find most effective when building support and action across a broader front? How do we not just own, but also influence and lead, and have a positive impact beyond our legal boundaries? From Source to Sea: Working with Water Catchments, Rivers and the Coast As so many National Trusts belong to small island nations, the coast is vitally important to our movement and our supporters. This year, the Trust’s Neptune Coastline Campaign celebrates its golden jubilee and, inspired by Neptune, the Conservatoire du Littoral also mark their 40th anniversary. This discussion will discuss our longer-term drive to adapt to changing climatic conditions and mitigate the impact of future flooding events through the way we work with water from source to sea. Evening Entertainment Monday 7 September: Gala Reception at King’s College 18:30-20:00 Delegates are invited to the Welcome Reception being held in the magnificent Great Hall of King’s College. In attendance will be Tim Parker, Chairman of the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Loyd Grossman CBE, Chair of The Heritage Alliance and Churches Conservation Trust. You will be entertained by the choir Eboracum Baroque. The group will perform music by a range of baroque composers including Henry Purcell, William Byrd, William Croft, Handel and the Wimpole composer in residence, Thomas Tudway. About King’s College In the heart of Cambridge, and yet cloistered by buildings of outstanding beauty, with the River Cam slipping by quietly at its western boundary, King’s College offers possibly one of the most serene and

photogenic sites in the country. Wander through the Front Court and admire the Chapel - one of the world’s finest examples of gothic architecture and home of a world-famous choir.

Wednesday 9 September: Ickworth Delegates will spend the evening in the sumptuous grounds and buildings of Ickworth. The evening is set aside for networking and enjoyment.

The entertainment will be provided by the very English custom of Morris Dancing on the lawn, featuring the local group the Green Dragon Morris Dancers.

Thursday 10 September: Wimpole Home Farm The Final Night Party is taking place in the Great Barn and takes the form of a barbecue and English folk dancing with the band Blackbeard’s Tea Party.

This is a chance for you to ‘do-si-do’ or ‘ladies' chain’, let your hair down and enjoy yourselves with your old and new friends. Barn dances can be very energetic. If you dance every dance (which we hope you will!) you’re likely to get hot, so remember to drink plenty of liquid and wear layers.
