On World Heritage Day help us spread the word
To coincide with ICOMOS International Day for Monuments and Sites on Tuesday 18 April, we are announcing details of our 2017 seminar series.
Help us spread the word, and raise awareness of the potential impact of the loss of Liverpool’s World Heritage status and the potential gains to be made from development and conservation working together.

Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City has been declared by UNESCO to have features of outstanding universal value, which puts Liverpool in the Premier League of world cities. With the status under threat, our 2017 seminar series asks if we have sufficiently valued what being a UNESCO World Heritage Site confers.
Entitled “Liverpool UNESCO World Heritage Site – A status worth fighting for?” this free seminar series will bring heritage officials, including Isabelle Anatole-Gabriel, UNESCO’s Chief of the Europe and North America Unit to venues within Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City – currently inscribed on UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger.
