Our World Heritage Initiative
“OurWorldHeritage aims to protect heritage, support knowledge based decision-making, promote good governance and engage civil society.”
HENB is an organizing partner of the Our World Heritage Initiative. Join us – citizens and professionals – as we mobilize to renew and reinforce heritage protection for the next 50 years. We are building a global network to include as much of civil society as possible. Please reach out to us, because together we are stronger. Without action, the legacy of the past will not be here for tomorrow’s generations.
2021 Debate & Heritage Places and Memory Theme
Each month in 2021, OWH organized a series of debates regarding a specific topic related to culture and heritage.
The objective of the initiative is to foster the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention through a more inclusive approach towards interpretation and conservation of heritage places. While some prominent values have been identified through the nomination process, others might have been omitted or ignored, mainly those voiced by local communities within and/around the places.
The organizers of this theme are keen to engage in dialogue with various voices from different regions and diverse groups. In addition to the series of academic webinars, campaigns and on-site activities, in particular with the participation of youth, will be organized in the month of September 2021.
