HERITAGE IN CONFLICT

2021 DEBATE OCTOBER

INVITATION

 We are inviting you to write a short article to be uploaded on our web site and social media accounts (linkedIn, in particular) with the aim of raising awareness about the role of cultural and natural heritage during and after conflicts.

Within the framework of the “OurWorldHeritage” initiative, our approach covers one of the 12 themes of the initiative: “Heritage in Conflict” that will be running during October 2021. We would be very happy if you could share your views on dealing with cultural and natural heritage during and/or after armed conflict and engaging civil society in relation to Heritage Sites under threat because of armed conflict.

Scope

Cultural and Natural Heritage is an essential part of our identity. As such, its role becomes particularly relevant during armed conflicts and post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding. Our initiative seeks to engage civil society and other community voices into promoting the shared responsibility for protecting our heritage. This ensures the inclusion of a multiplicity of perspectives in caring and protecting heritage and the broad engagement in the peacebuilding process.

Your article could contribute to the discussion on questions such as:

  1. What have been and what are the ways we can approach heritage in relation to armed conflict? And which heritage?
  2. What is the role of the local and international community towards endangered heritage because of conflicts?
  3. What can heritage conservation activists, artists, social media do to promote heritage protection and peacebuilding?

  2. 1 or 2 pictures (photographs, drawings, etc.)
