People all over the globe celebrate their cultural heritage every day by living lives that reflect who they are and whereabouts. One day per year is dedicated to celebrating the history and heritage of all humankind. World Heritage Day is an opportunity to recognize all cultures and places around the globe, to raise awareness about important cultural sites and monuments, and to promote the importance of conserving the world’s culture.

The International Monuments and Sites Day (also known as World Heritage Day) celebrates the efforts of the ICOMOS – International Council on Monuments and Sites. This day is about raising awareness of the value of cultural heritage, and helping to preserve it for future generations. All over the globe, ancient monuments and buildings are a valuable asset. They must be protected in order to preserve their value for many years. The day is a collaborative effort of all communities across the globe.

There are many events taking place all around the globe on this day. These include a variety of activities, conferences, as well as visits to heritage sites or monuments. A heritage site is a place of cultural significance. It preserves the heritage of intangible assets and physical artifacts of a society, group, or organization that has been passed down from previous generations.

There are many incredible monuments and heritage sites all over the globe. The Machu Picchu is located in lush, mountainous terrain high above Peru’s Urubamba River. The Pyramids of Giza is one of many amazing sights found in Egypt. You should also visit Bagan, Myanmar, Angkor Wat, Cambodia, and The Great Wall of China.

The first, and perhaps most confusing? The first (and perhaps most confusing) part of World Heritage Day’s name is not a formal one. The International Day for Monument and Sites is also known as World Heritage Day. It was founded in 1982 by ICOMOS, the International Council for Monuments and Sites. This organization was founded on the principles of the Venice Charter, also known as the 1964 International Charter on the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites.

After a need was identified for protecting these valuable locations, the organization was created. Experts from many related fields joined forces to create it. They include engineers, geographers and civil engineers as well as artists and archaeologists. They work each year to ensure that the world’s most important cultural monuments and beautiful sites are preserved for future generations.

It has nearly 10,000 members from over 150 countries since its inception. Over 400 of these 10,000 members are from institutions, national and international scientific committees. They all work together to save valuable sites and find new ones to add to the watchlist.

2016 saw the addition of Gorham’s Cave Complex in the UK and Khangchendzonga National Park, India, as well as the Persian Qanat, Islamic Republic of Iran. These places are possible because of the hard work and leadership of its members.

Each World Heritage Day has a theme. It is a good idea to look at the theme each year to get some ideas on how to celebrate World Heritage Day. Some of the most popular themes include “Rural Landscapes” or “Shared Cultures. Shared Heritage. Shared Responsibility.”

The best way to celebrate World Heritage Day, is to find out where you live that counts as World Heritage Sites and maybe pay them a visit. You should research the site to find out how it can be protected, and then respect them while you are there. You might consider submitting a site you believe is important to ICOMOS. Do your part to preserve and protect an important site from disappearing, don’t let it go!

Also, you can check the internet to find out if any events are being held in your area in celebration of World Heritage Day. There are many events that aim to raise awareness about the preservation of monuments and buildings. These events are open to all ages and you can participate in them to show your support. It shouldn’t be difficult to find out what’s happening in your area. You can also refer to the Facebook group for additional details if your community has one.

It’s also a great idea to share awareness about this day with people you know. You can easily do this via social media. Post a message to your family, friends, and followers informing them of the day. Then encourage them to share something. Post a picture of one of your favorite international sites or one you are interested in visiting, and ask your followers for their opinion. This is a great way to get everyone involved and raise awareness about the date!
