The European Heritage Days are the most widely celebrated participatory cultural event shared by the people of Europe. The Council of Europe launched the initiative in 1985, and in 1999 was joined by the European Union to create the joint action, which has continued up to the present day. Conceivably, the Programme, which can boast up to 20 million visitors every year, generates the greatest value, Euro for Euro, of any “European” cultural project. Held in September each year, EHD events – often called Heritage Open Days - take place in the countries party to the European Cultural Convention. The aims of the European Heritage Days are to: - raise the awareness of European citizens to the richness and cultural diversity of Europe - create a climate in which the appreciation of the rich mosaic of European cultures is stimulated - counter racism and xenophobia and encourage greater tolerance in Europe and beyond the national borders - inform the public and the political authorities about the need to protect cultural heritage against new threats - invite Europe to respond to the social, political and economic challenges it faces #formicals #teknikkimya #europeanheritagedays #europe #heritagedays

Every year on May 21, UNESCO leads the celebration of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. We celebrate the rich diversity in culture around the world, while urging that it is crucial to preserve the diversity of cultural expressions. 89% of all current conflicts worldwide take place in countries with low levels of intercultural dialogue. Strengthening intercultural discussion needs to be a top priority in order to create successful cooperation and maintain peace.
