This November, the World Heritage convention turns 50. It is a great opportunity for the global community to celebrate the successes of heritage protection and give visibility to groups that need better representation: communities, local custodians and civil society. At this important moment, we reflect and look forward. OurWorldHeritage has organised OWHvoices, taking place on 14 and 15 November 2022. We bring forward the conclusions of #2021debate with inputs from various members of civil society, and advocate for greater civil society participation in World Heritage protection and for natural and cultural heritage of all types. We hope you will register and join us online! What was heard during #2021debate from 600+ speakers and thousands of participants, is that people care deeply about their heritage. It clearly revealed the need for more involvement of these groups, to address the challenges faced and the opportunities for natural and cultural heritage to be part of the solution for the next 50 years of World Heritage and beyond. To refresh this important work, please have a look at our new website! You will find theme reports and the new βHERITAGEarchiveβ, where recordings of webinars are published. We would like to THANK YOU for participating. OurWorldHeritage is full of ideas for growing partnerships that encourage co-learning, civil society advocacy and advancing practice. We look forward to further collaborations!
