Our Story

What is Blue Shield?

Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. Its goal is to protect cultural heritage in case of war or natural disasters. Like the Red Cross, it is strictly neutral and independent, and operates solely with volunteers. This is important for Curaçao, which is located in a hurricane-prone area. Blue Shield’s mission is based on the 1954 Hague Convention (Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict). Blue Shield’s network consists of organizations involved in archives, museums, audiovisual support, libraries, as well as monuments and sites.

Our Activities

Why we do What we do
                           
One of the important objectives of Blue Shield Curaçao is to include the
 protection of our cultural heritage in the National Crisis Plan. This
 has already been accomplished as of April 2013. Together with experts
 and volunteers, we address all aspects of the Disaster Management cycle:
 Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation.
Our non-profit organization is dedicated to protecting the cultural heritage of Curacao through a range of activities. We conduct research to better understand the history and cultural significance of the island’s landmarks, monuments, and artifacts. We organize events and exhibitions to raise awareness and promote appreciation of Curacao’s cultural heritage among the general public. We collaborate with local and international organizations to advocate for policies and regulations that protect our island’s cultural heritage. We also offer training opportunities for our volunteers to develop their skills and knowledge in cultural heritage management, conservation techniques, research methods, and more. Our organization is committed to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Curacao for future generations, and we welcome everyone who shares our passion to join us.

Our values

At the heart of our organization are our core values of integrity, collaboration, and respect. We believe in working together with our volunteers, partners, and stakeholders to promote a shared understanding and appreciation of the cultural heritage of Curacao.
