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”

https://estonia.icomos.org/index.php/2019/03/

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.
