World Heritage day

The World has learned a lot from the monuments that adorn our world, telling us the stories of magical feats our ancestors achieved to celebrate this, the day of 18th April every year is celebrated as the International Day of monuments and sites, or more commonly known as World Heritage Day.

?India celebrates this day by commemorating the rich and diverse cultural heritage we have the fortuity of living in. It is the most important task for the elders of our country to get the younger generations acquainted with the heritage and culture of our country, and also inform them about the importance of preserving these monuments and cultures in their natural form.

World Heritage Day was named by ICOMOS or International Council on Monuments and Sites in the year 1982 and has since been tasked with coming up with new themes for this special day each year. This year the theme is Heritage and Climate, aiming at how the heritage sites can be preserved in an environment friendly and sustainable way so that the damage to climate is least. This theme encourages people to come up with ways to preserve history while securing a healthy future for our Kids.

Skoodos wishes all a very Happy World Heritage Day, a day that celebrates preserving history and accepting the changes.
