On 4 November, IHS will publicly present the book during a conference to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention. This conference will be a “hybrid” event, with online and in-person attendance options. True to its message, this event will bring together a wide variety of groups of people and institutions, representing different generations and illustrating the diversity of humanity’s heritage. This diversity ensures that the conference will provide insights into different interpretations of World Heritage and its resulting uses worldwide. On the occasion of the Convention’s 50th birthday, this event aims to communicate the importance of World Heritage for our common future, define the resulting requirements, and confirm it as a commitment of the international community. Our project “50 Years World Heritage Convention: Shared Responsibility – Conflict & Reconciliation” shared these exact goals.
The conference is based on our book “50 Years World Heritage Convention: Shared Responsibility – Conflict & Reconciliation” as a celebration to 50 years of the World Heritage Convention. The event will bring together a wide variety of groups of people and institutions, representing different generations and expertise, which illustrate the diversity of humanity’s heritage. True to this message, the conference will provide insight into diverse perspectives and interpretations of World Heritage, the Convention, and its Peace Mandate.
