| UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Europe - A Network for Cultural
Dialogue and Cultural Tourism
This international conference will seek to develop forms of co-operation
for the foundation of a European UNESCO World Heritage Sites Network.
As outstanding examples of European cultural and natural heritage,
World Heritage sites may significantly contribute to the enhancement
of cultural dialogue within the EU and increase the value of cultural
tourism across Europe. With 830 sites in 138 States Parties, the
World Heritage Convention is an excellent instrument for cultural
dialogue between Europe and other regions of the world.
Representatives of cultural politics and monument preservation
will come together with tourism experts and those responsible for
managing World Heritage sites to develop joint strategies and find
sustainable uses for our shared heritage in order to preserve it
for future generations. Existing models of co-operation among European
World Heritage sites shall be further developed with a view to furthering
the process of integration in Europe.
The conference is organized by the German National Commission for
UNESCO and the German UNESCO World Heritage Sites Association.
See the website below for more information.
The registration deadline is 1 May 2007 with a
hotel reservation, and 1 June 2007 without a hotel
reservation.
