Cultural Heritage in Today’s Southern Mediterranean Region: Exploring the state of regional cultural heritage and contemporary conservation efforts.
FONDEMA foundation is organising a conference titled: “Cultural Heritage in Today’s Southern Mediterranean Region: exploring the state of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and contemporary conservation efforts” that will be held on May 18th, 2016 in the Speakers Corner at The Hague University of Applied Sciences from 16:30 till 19:30.
‘Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration’ (UNESCO, 2016)
The conference will seek to highlight the impact that regional instability has had on both tangible and intangible forms of culture by inviting speakers from differing fields of expertise to share their views before opening a platform for discussion. The Hague is synonymous with peace and justice, making it the ideal venue for an event that seeks to shift perceptions and promote proactivity. To allow a nation to lose its cultural past risks losing a nations future.
Foundation FONDEMA is a non-religious and apolitical organization based in The Hague, working towards a renewed dialogue between Europe, southern Mediterranean shore and Africa. Their mission is to advance understanding between North and South by developing cultural initiatives, fostering international cooperation, and promoting and managing shared programs together with partners from Europe, Middle East and Africa.
