Dear Madam/Sir,
The UNESCO World Heritage Centre, ICCROM and IUCN, under the World Heritage
Leadership Programme, are pleased to announce that the 7th edition of the World
Heritage Site Managers’ Forum will be organised in conjunction with the 47th session of
the World Heritage Committee. This Forum is supported by the Republic of Bulgaria. In
addition, a limited number of travel grants will be provided by the Republic of Ireland and
ICCROM to support the participation of some selected site managers.
This year's Forum will take place at UNESCO Headquarters (7-9 July 2025), in addition
to one online session (date to be confirmed). We kindly request site managers wishing
to participate in this year's Forum to complete the application form by 4 May 2025 (23:59

State Party Delegations will be informed.

Kutse World Heritage site managers foorumile
Tere!
Edastame kutse maailmapärandi paikade haldamise eest vastutavate kontaktisikute (site
managers) foorumile, mis toimub UNESCO peakorteris Pariisis 7.-9. juulil 2025.
Loodame, et vanalinna arengu koordinaator saab sellel üritusel osaleda. Maailmapärandi keskus
on lisaks ametlikule kutsele ka suuliselt palunud julgustada Tallinna kui maailmapärandi paiga
esindajat foorumil osalema. Foorum annab palju praktilist infot, millega maailmapärandi paikade
haldamisel arvestada, ning pakub võimalust vahetada kogemusi teiste kolleegidega maailmast.
Osalemiseks tuleb hiljemalt 4. maiks ära täita vastav vorm, mille leiab üritust tutvustavalt
veebilehelt https://whc.unesco.org/en/whsmf25
Foorum toimub paralleelselt maailmapärandi komitee istungiga, mis peetakse UNESCO
peakorteris 6.-16. juulil. Kindlasti oleks kasulik pärast foorumi lõppu osaleda ka maailmapärandi
komitee istungil ning saada osa maailmapärandi paikade seireraportite arutelust.
Lugupidamisega
