Campaign for
a
European Industrial and Technical Heritage
Year
In november 2009 industrial heritage associations from different European countries and regions met in Calais (France) to discuss cross-border co-operation and exchange of experiences and information. There was a large concensus on the proposal to launch the idea of an European Industrial and Technical Heritage Year.
A campaign was launched which makes
an appeal to heritage and (local) history associations in every
European country to support the initiative.
As a first step, in 2009 and 2010, one aims to rally as much as
possible national, regional, local and thematic associations round
the common Memorandum.
All associations are asked to have this memorandum approved by their board or general assembly, to copy the text on their letterhead and to send it duely undersigned (by at least two responsibles of the association) to :
The official text of the Memorandum is in English
The following (unofficial) translations are already available : Catalan, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish
