Thematic Seminar


The Thematic Seminar , hold by Bernard Jimenez, the very known thematic exhibitor and the Secretary of the Jury at WSC ISRAEL 2018 was a great success.
In the first part he dealt with the material in thematics aided by a a very effective slide presentation with many  items from his newest exhibit "From stones to Jewelry".
 67 participants from many countries, including Jury Members for Traditional or Postal History , thanked him with standing ovations.

Jury Academy

For the 1st time ever, a jury training course have been conducted by FIP at Jerusalem 3 days before the WSC  ISRAEL2018 exhibition.

To save expenses to participants, to the O.C. and to FIP – only jury members of the exhibition (or Israeli jurors) were invited.  14 accepted (and paid the extra hotel rooms costs).

After a very intensive and serious course with professional trainers (also chairmen of TR and PH FIP committees)- they received their certificates and jury fellow pins at the PALMARES ceremony.
