[Archport] LANDSCAPE AS HERITAGE IN POLICY

[Guillermo-Sven Reher Díez <guillermo_reher@hotmail.com>]

Dear all, below I paste information of an upcoming conference some of you may find interesting.
It will investigate the practical and symbiotic links between the two Council of Europe conventions that cover this area – the European Landscape Convention (2000, Florence) and the Faro Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (2005, Faro) – and the cooperative possibilities they offer for facing societal and environmental challenges both locally and through landscape’s global framework. The conference will explore different national and disciplinary traditions, identities and through dialogue between researchers, policy makers, local people and other stakeholders illuminate better ways for the European common cultural heritage to help address current and future the major challenges at all policy levels.
The conference covers three themes.

• Session 1: Landscape and Heritage – concepts and ideas
• Session 2: ELC and Faro interconnections and synergies
• Session 3: Landscape as heritage in mainstream policy
