For the background information on previous workshops:
This workshop in Estonia is already 3rd in the series.
The first workshop and conferences were held in 2019, May 1-6 in Tallinn and Lahemaa National Park, “Heritage and Rights”
The second was held from 2.-5.09. 2020 in a COVID situation in hybrid format, Estonia and internet, „Heritage Communities and Human Rights“ – https://estonia.icomos.org/index.php/2020/06/
We hoped to have in 2021 workshop at least in a hybrid format in Estonia, but COVID made corrections. Some ideas for a joint workshop were implemented on 25.11.2021 Heritage Thursday on Coastal Heritage https://estonia.icomos.org/index.php/2021/11/19/heritage-thursdays-webinar-series-webinar-6-coastal-heritage-communities-and-climate/.
We do hope this yearś workshop will work out just fine. Communication on shared values and rights is so important in the rapidly changing and turbulent world.
