# Cultural Protection

**Cultural Protection** (**Kulturschutz**) refers to the strategic rescue, preservation, and documentation of cultural assets, particularly in conflict zones. 

Within the context of the CDFI Art History department, this concept is heavily applied to the current situation in **Ukraine**. Activities include:
- Collaborations with the **National Museum of the History of Ukraine, Kyiv**.
- Research into the protection of Ukrainian cultural heritage during wartime.
- Academic advocacy for the preservation of art and architecture in Eastern Europe.
