| Summary: |
The 2008 Annual Congress and the General Assembly of ECOVAST, the
European COuncil for the Village And Small Town, a Member Organisation
of Europa Nostra, will take place in Wittstock (Dosse) in the Prignitz/Brandenburg
in Germany from 17 to 21 September 2008.
Small Towns in the countryside are often overlooked when it comes
to trying to solve the problems of Europe or the World. However
they are important central points in the settlement structure, they
are indispensable for a future-orientated economic, social and cultural
development, important for the quality of life and the identity
of the inhabitants of the region.
For this reason ECOVAST, the Town of Wittstock (Dosse) and the
Brandenburg Chamber of Architects organise a conference to discuss
this subject. ECOVAST started at the Europa Nostra Conference in
Hamburg, in 1978, and will therefore celebrate its 30th anniversary
this year. A dinner will be organised by the German Section of ECOVAST
(itself celebrating its 20th anniversary) on 20 September.
