Intersections - Video Conference

Intersections: Thinking Together on how Heritage can Serve Sustainability and Regional Development is an International exchange with experts from the "Global South" - organised by the UNESCO Chair on Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainability at the Institute of Advanced Studies, Kőszeg, Institute for Social and European Studies Foundation and the University of Pannonia. 

 

Video conference: 11 June 2024, 2-6 pm CET

 

The theme of "Intersections" recognizes that despite significant differences in resources and opportunities across various global regions—both natural and social—the challenges we face are fundamentally interconnected. These challenges manifest in diverse forms and intensities, suggesting that uniform solutions may not be universally applicable. This variability underscores the value of cross-regional dialogue and comparison, which can be extraordinarily enlightening. Such interactions not only broaden our understanding by offering new perspectives on cultural heritage management but also serve as a wellspring of creativity and innovation.

Understanding these phenomena deeply and exploring exemplary practices are crucial. However, these practices should inspire innovation rather than be directly copied. Viewing our discussions as the beginning of a continuous collaborative process, we encourage ongoing engagement among participants. This sustained interaction will foster a shared space for learning and adaptation, where experiences and insights can be regularly exchanged to enrich understanding and response strategies across regions.
