The last in a series of five webinars, that will showcase a handful of World Heritage Sites from across Europe.

WHS – the Historic Centre of Florence

Speakers – Valentina Ippolito and Carlo Francini

World Heritage UK is a member of the European Network of World Heritage Associations, (ENWHA) which is a union of associations and initiatives that regularly exchange information and experience about the World Heritage. The aim is to raise general awareness of European World Heritage, to advocate its protection and conservation, and to discuss common issues and topics using an open and transparent approach.

WHUK hopes this series will be the first of many drawing on WHSs from across the ENWHA membership and will allow attendees the opportunity to discover World Heritage outside of the UK.
