| Celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Memory of the World Programme |
|
Save the date. UNESCO celebrates the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Memory of the World Programme from 27 October to 5 November 2022.
The 30th anniversary of the Memory of the World Programme will be celebrated in tandem with the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. As such, UNESCO embraces the theme: "Your Window to the World: Enlisting documentary heritage to promote inclusive, just and peaceful societies".
It takes its cue from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly SDG 16. SDG 16 seeks to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” Target 16.10 aims to “ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements.”
For the global celebration, a symposium will be held at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France, on 27 October 2022. The event will be opened for registration for Member States, and will be live-streamed for the public.
