“… the deterioration or disappearance of an element of the cultural or natural heritage constitutes a harmful impoverishment of the heritage of all the nations of the world,” the World Heritage Convention (1972) states.
The International Day for Monuments and Sites, established in 1982 by UNESCO’s General Conference is an invitation “to reflect, interpret and revisit existing narratives” taking into consideration global calls for greater inclusion and recognition of diversity.”
This day is also an opportunity to raise awareness and contribute to the reflection, in particular, by virtually visiting many UNESCO World Heritage sites on Google Arts & Culture.
