International Day for Monuments and Sites – April 18
Theme for 2010 – “The Heritage of Agriculture”
April 18 is a major celebration for ICOMOS and each year the state representatives of Australia ICOMOS organize a number of activities around Australia so that you can celebrate the diversity of the world’s cultural heritage with colleagues along with ICOMOS members the world over. It is important to note that this day is not (and never was called) called ‘world heritage day’!
Australia ICOMOS welcomes other conservation minded organizations celebrating this day by organising their own heritage activities, however we ask that you use the correct title to promote the day. This day is about more than ‘world’ heritage sites – it seeks to raise public awareness of the full diversity of cultural heritage places and landscapes whether they be of international, national or local significance.
