IMWD2019 Int'l Museum Workers Day
Creative communities have the power to influence humanity in ways in which we don't often think! Our Economy generates:
Nearly 30 million jobs worldwide; Jobs for more people aged 15?29 than any other sector; Annual revenues of US$2.25 Trillion; with, Global exports of over US$250 Billion.
During its fourth edition, International Museum Workers Day IMWD2018 was marked in 21 languages, across 12 platforms, in 170 countries. IMWD is strongly committed to galvanizing our communities to urgently embrace UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
Greatly inspired and deeply alarmed by UN's recently published Global Assessment Report* (May 6, 2019), we are stepping up our engagement with the art, design & heritage communities, worldwide, by expanding our year-round activities on all our platforms to emphasize Sustainable Future Heritage.
We dedicate #IMWD2019 - scheduled to take place on Thurs. Oct 24, 2019 - to the theme of "SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE" as we urgently embrace the warnings of scientists who tell us "Nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history (IPBES)."
We want to know, "What Does SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE Mean To You?"
Example) “Biodiversity & nature’s contributions to people are our common HERITAGE & humanity’s most important life-supporting ‘safety net’. But our safety net is stretched almost to breaking point,” Prof. Sandra Díaz, Co-Chair of IPBES Global Assessments.

5 年So many jobs, so much influence and yet it is sad to see that most jobs are badly paid. Is this why so many young people work in this sector? I hope this raises awareness and cultural institutions are getting a boost again instead of falling down the austerity hole.?
