Lesson 1: Cultural Heritage: Main Concepts and Definitions

Cultural Heritage Nowadays is a Human Rights Issue

“Cultural heritage is significant in the present, both as a message from the past and as a pathway to the future. Viewed from a human rights perspective, it is important not only in itself, but also in relation to its human dimension,” says Karima Bennoune - UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights.

Moving forward, the goals of international communities include rising awareness about cultural heritage and the dangers it faces, being more inclusive and making sure future generations have access to the knowledge of the most valuable elements of our cultures.
